Fabbri, Luigi, 1877-1935

A biography of Italian anarchist militant and writer, Luigi Fabbri.

A clear-sighted and very astute intellectual, author of essays crucial to my libertarian understanding of the great political upheavals of the 20th century (such as the Russian revolution, the fascist seizure of power in Italy). A generous and tireless anarchist militant, he knew imprisonment and internment, physical assault at the hands of fascist thugs and was driven into exile.

A Reader includes Barrot's important critique of the Situationist International for their one-sided emphasis on circulation rather then production.
