ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an overview of Movimento Cinque Stelle, discussion of passive revolution is aimed at showing the tension between the potential to effectively politicize increasingly alienated sectors of society. While limiting their participation through an autocratic organization of decision-making. The chapter examines the analysis of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) and Indignados/Podemos' practices, and in reference to Gramsci's concept of translation. It descries particularly interested in the translating relationship among materiality, structural tendencies and constraints, and human praxis, and how those dynamics contribute to making a movement move in communicative terms. The chapter provides a brief account of M5S's origin and trajectory. In the case of M5S, analysis shows that there is a consistent shifting back and forth between progressive mobilization of people and regressive aspects of a populist and charismatic leadership; between street and institutional politics; between online and offline politics; and finally between movement and party politics.
