History and profile
The first issue of Lavoro Politico appeared in October 1967.[1] It was published by Centro di informazione on a monthly basis.[2] Its editor was Walter Peruzzi.[3] Mara Cagol and Renato Curcio were among the contributors.[4]
Lavoro Politico supported class war as suggested by Karl Marx, Lenin and Mao and became a very prestigious theoretical publication among the radical students in Italy.[3] It particularly praised the Red Guards movement in China.[3] Lavoro Politico was one of the ardent critics of the workerism advocated by other Italian communist publications such as Classe Operaia.[5] The magazine folded in 1969 after publishing the issue numbered 11–12.[1]
