Written and published for the first time in 1970 by" a group of militants from the extra-parliamentary left ", 'The massacre State' is a counter on the massacre of Piazza Fontana in Milan on December 12, 1969, conventionally regarded as the first event of the infamous "strategy of tension" created to demolish the version officially supported in those years in that regard (that guilt was to be attributed to anarchists and, more generally, the movement antagonist), this book remains today a valuable tool for understanding the dynamics "domain" is still implemented by a state which falsely portrays itself as "democratic."
From preface to the 1999:
" This, in fact, is not a book conspiracy. Does not rebuild done by choosing only those events that may be convenient to the version you want to sit. Does not close its eyes to the violence, saying - that is, lying - that "the violence is only fascist." Able to see and distinguish the violence of the fascists, the State and also the antagonist of the movement. If there is conflict - it seems trivial to say, but now it sounds almost like heresy to many - the shots you take, but they also give. This book has nothing to short do with the subculture of "conspiracy theory of universal flowering in subsequent years. The authors never fall into the trap of the "dual state", dear to the conspiracy (pseudo-historical) of PCI ancestry who have, at most, limited to defining the killings as simply fascist. They do not believe in short, that has ever existed in Italy a "good state" that lived in conflict with the "bad". The state was and is only a : the apparatus (the services, the police, the police, judiciary, etc..) Does not move independently of political power. But the state is not even playing a variety of organized political presence in parliament. There are also in the appearance of the "true democrats" or simply the honest officials. But controinchiesta reveals unmistakably as the latter are always removed, replaced, removed, when their work does not coincide with the aims of the general apparatus.
Without the theory of "double state" there can be no conspiracy. The demonstration of such a statement is in the fact that nearly four years of center-left government (the same formula in force in '69, but with the addition of a large chunk of the former Communist Party) and a former interior minister "communist" (Giorgio Napolitano) have brought out from the archives one more news about the massacres and their perpetrators. When the conspiracy went to the government, in short, the truth about the killings remained hidden as before. Which demonstrates not only their bad faith, but the unreliability of the theory. In this sense, 'The massacre State' is a book sull'irriformabilità democratic state, at least in this country, regardless of its reactionary consist of a succession of governments that use them without ever questioning it.
