Tge difference is the italians in america can easly become something without be criminals where in italy for the people that live in the poor zones,joint the criminaj organization is the only way for have a better life.
Well yes,but the real power of mafia is secret services and masons , not the guys that end up dealing drugs on streets. That is the main difference.
If you had no strong organization the secret services or the masons would never help you.
For example the secret services used Cutolo for find where Moro and Cirillo was hidden,but if Cutolo was the NCO head nobody would ask his help.
In the 1970s the ndrangheta clans from the cities understood that use and be used by the masons and the services was convenient.But its were already powerful organizations that wanted to make a jump forward and create the "santista" for do it.
