Workerism

Workerism, or "Operaio" in Italian, was a political and cultural movement in Italy during the 1960s that emphasized the power, rights, and importance of workers in society. It advocated for increased worker participation in decision-making, radical reforms, and better working conditions, challenging traditional hierarchical structures. The movement aimed to align politics more closely with the needs of the working class, promoting activism and social change from a worker-centric perspective. Overall, Workerism sought to elevate the role of labor in shaping economic policies and societal values.
