The lives of Carlo Cafiero (1846¿1892), Andrea Costa (1851¿1910), and Errico Malatesta (1853¿1932) have been taken as a starting point to analyze their distinctive militant trajectory in the Italian branch of the International Workingmen¿s Association (IWA) from 1871 to 1876, during which years the three men acted on the basis of a complete personal and theoretical agreement. Theirs was a micro-history made of thought and action, propaganda of ideas and insurrectional attempts, theoretical debates and arrests. In the process, those three figures played a key role both in organizing the Association and in defining the nascent Italian socialist movement¿s theoretical tenets. The various elements that characterize their Internationalist militancy include their relationship, one the one hand, with Engels (and Marx), and, on the other, with Bakunin and the Swiss Internationalists from the Jura; the harsh controversies with Giuseppe Mazzini and, at the same time, the legacy of Risorgimento¿s revolutionary tradition; the editing of the first socialist periodicals and the underground activity of the Comitato Italiano per la Rivoluzione Sociale. Cafiero, Costa, and Malatesta led the Italian Federation of the IWA from a merely abstentionist and federalist stance to embracing the fundamental ideas of Bakunin¿s anarchism and, later on, to overcoming them by working out the "anarchist communism" principle and a distinctive revolutionary theory: "propaganda by the deed (AU) | |
