Thank you for the long and detailed answer. I know that the situation in Italy is very different to Germany (were I‘m from). Even from the outside it seems that the left struggles and keeps infighting for years now. The financial crisis has caused huge damage and they don’t have any answers.
In the end your last sentence is what it boils down to: They aren’t doing it right.
I don’t agree with your last paragraph. We face many crises today and to solve them is challenging our way of life. The political (far)right answers with simple, populist sentiments that will not solve anything: Just drive your car, just eat your meat, we need growth — look: migrants!
The left tries to explain very complex concepts, but all people hear is „you have to change your way of living“.
Volt is not part of the European Green Party. But within the EP European and national parties with overlapping goals form groupings. Volt joined the Green grouping (Greens/EFA) after the last election. As far as I know they might join the green grouping again or go with the liberal grouping (Renew/ALDE). They share goals with both of them. I would label them progressive liberals.

Really enjoyed several play-throughs. OCC has a lengthy interview with the authors (of the book that is the basis for this game) on Nebula.
On a side note: Some days ago I started playing Urbek City Planner which is not as radical but gives me similar vibes.
Imho Scandinavian prisons are a good example. I saw a documentary about an island where the prisoners can roam more or less freely, work and are reintroduced into society.
