Lotta Continua

Lotta Continua was an Italian far-left political organization active mainly in the 1970s. It emerged from revolutionary and socialist ideas, advocating for direct action, workers' rights, and social change outside traditional political channels. The group opposed capitalism, imperialism, and authoritarianism, aiming for a more egalitarian society through protests, strikes, and activism. While it was not a formal political party, Lotta Continua sought to influence Italian politics and society by mobilizing marginalized groups and promoting revolutionary ideals. Its activities reflect a push for radical change during a turbulent period of political and social upheaval in Italy.
