Organizzazione e critica dell'ideologia. Scienza, pratica e lotta politica nel marxismo di Raniero Panzieri

Panzieri was never a member of the Italian Communist Party and cannot be properly considered a philosopher. However, when one seeks to delve deeper into the philosophical and political debate that developed within the political and trade union organizations of the labor movement, it is impossible not to engage with his political trajectory and his theoretical legacy. In his criticisms of the Soviet experience, in his reflections on the relationship between politics and culture during the years of “Mondo operaio”, and in his essays for “Quaderni rossi”, Panzieri develops his growing eccentricity in relation to the tradition of historicist Marxism, which was hegemonic in communist culture. Highlighting the elements of this heterodoxy allows us to identify some of the reasons behind the crisis that would unfold between the Pci and the movements of the 1960s and 1970s.
