In an inherently conservative and ultimately backward country such as #Italy, the judicial ordeal of #MariaEdgardaEddiMarcucci comes as no surprise. ilfattoquotidiano.it/2020/11/17/edd… via @fattoquotidiano
#EddiMarcucci fought Isis with the Women's Protection Units (#Ypj) in #Rojava (2017-2018)
Once back in Italy, she was deemed a "dangerous person" and stripped of her civil rights after being sentenced to two years of "special surveillance" - by a court in Turin.

Why was #MariaEdgardaMarcucci deemed a dangerous person when she had in fact fought for freedom and justice? Aren't freedom and justice the cornerstones of Western Democracies?
It appears our democratic foundations are not as sturdy as one would expect.
In a country such as #Italy, from the viewpoint of those in power, #MariaEdgardaMarcucci unquestionably is a dangerous person. First, she doesn't fit the stereotype of a subservient, dependant woman.

How is male power supposed to deal with such an anomaly?Second, #EddiMarcucci embodies the globetrotting revolutionary, one who takes up arms to fight all ideologies of militant bigotry,violence,oppression & inequality, in whatever part of the world it is needed.
How is the #bourgeoisiestate - the oppressor par excellence, the beacon of inequality - supposed to deal with such a destabilising threat?#EddiMarcucci has forced the state to reveal its true nature...
#EddiMarcucci has forced the state to reveal its true nature, one that puts the maintaining of the status quo (with ALL that goes with it) before justice and freedom - before empathy and love - disavowing and rejecting its own democratic principles.
Maria Edgarda Marcucci is a Revolutionary, one we must cherish and protect.
