I am going to be adding to this post for a few days in comments. At some point I will rewrite. When I do rewrite I will do that which I rarely do and that is not only incorporate the new information I have but frame Italy in a wider context of European politics. One item in Europe standing out is while populations in some nations move more to the right and elected governments which reflect this feeling of revulsion with the Left none of these governments break with the line Russia bad. A piece of information coming to me today which in a way explains a bit more -In Italian Elections NATO’s Weapons Lobby WON with Meloni and Right Party Founded by President of Defence Industries.

This essay is a good start but needs an edit and more work. It presupposes a lot of familiarity with Hobbes, Schmitt, and Aristotle, not to mention the Italian thinkers you refer to and quote here. Many readers might lack that familiarity. I'm not certain, though, who your readers are or who you intend them to be.

However that may be, in your humble opinion, is this woman a Trojan horse or not? Or will only time tell?

Politics is becoming like professional wrestling. Each week, the good guys and bad guys exchange places, depending on the demands of the audience.

She is a Trojan Horse. When the world is under such a tight lockdown of sanity and common sense this is the madness which reigns supreme. Fashioning models of the rabbit holes and fighting these agendas with sanity and common sense is the only sane response. Form committees of grandparents who hold kids, families, communities and individuals as the things that matter. This is planetary - we are way beyond nationalism now.
