Classe Operaia (Italian for "Working Class") was a Marxist monthly magazine which was published in Italy for three years between 1964 and 1967. Its subtitle was "political monthly of the workers in struggle."
History and profile
[edit | edit source]Classe Operaia was founded by a group of Marxist intellectuals who left another Marxist magazine entitled Quaderni Rossi.[1][2] They planned to be involved in more direct political activity through Classe Operaia.[3] The first issue of Classe Operaia came out in January 1964.[1][4] Asor Rosa and Mario Tronti co-edited the magazine from its start in 1964 to 1966.[5] One of the main contributors was philosopher Antonio Negri.[6]
Target audience of Classe Operaia was the workers,[6] and it was not only a theoretical publication, but also a practice-oriented publication.[7] The magazine's debut editorial, "Lenin in Inghilterra" (Italian: Lenin in England), by Mario Tronti emphasized the need to change the Marxist tradition which included the modification the dominant perspective of the period.[6][8] Such a change was reported to be related to first the working class and its struggles and to the capital and its development.[1] In the same issue an analysis of the technicians of production was presented which has been still used in the workerist theory and practice.[9] Its contributors claimed that the workers' strike at Fiat in Turin was so significant that it created a totally new revolutionary path in the Italian politics.[7] The magazine praised the efforts of Raniero Panzieri to support the workers' movement.[4]
The last issue of Classe Operaia appeared in March 1967.[1] It was succeeded by another magazine Contropiano which was started in 1968.[7]
In 1979 a Milan-based publishing house, Machina Libri, reproduced all issues of Classe Operaia.[10]
