A-Infos (en) Italy, Sicilia Libertaria: Sciruccazzu - The train metaphor (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Northern politicians, advocates of differentiated automunization, often 
use the metaphor of the train to make us understand that, if the 
northern regions (the "locomotive") go faster, all the others (the 
carriages) will automatically be towed and will also go fast. 'they. 
---- A completely rambling metaphor. ---- In order to be able to run at 
the speed for which it was designed, a very powerful locomotive must be 
able to tow wagons that have technical characteristics capable of 
withstanding its speed. If we attach wagons that are in bad shape to 
that locomotive, or in any case with structural characteristics that do 
not allow the same speed as the locomotive, only two things can happen: 
when the convoy picks up speed, sooner or later the wagons will 
demonstrate their limits and the train will derail; or the locomotive 
will have to adapt its speed to that of the slower wagon, in order to be 
sure of completing the journey.

Those who say that differentiated autonomy will have a positive effect 
for all the regions of the South are all bullshit; it will be a 
disastrous journey for the South, or it will have to be a slow journey, 
without double speed regions.

Otherwise, to be able to express its potential, the locomotive (the 
Northern regions) will only have one possibility: it will have to 
uncouple the wagons (the rest of the regions), leave them stopped where 
they are, and run alone. And this is what will happen, as this simple 
rereading of the train metaphor shows us.
