Raniero Panzieri (1921 – Turin, 9 October 1964) was an Italian politician, writer and Marxist theoretician, considered as the founder of operaismo.
Biography[edit]
Раниеро Панциери родился в Риме . Он жил на Сицилии и был активным членом Итальянской социалистической партии . Принимая активное участие в борьбе за земельную реформу, он начал писать. В 1953 году он стал членом центрального комитета PSI, а затем в 1957 году содиректором теоретического обзора Mondo operaio (Рабочий мир), который он превратил в дискуссионный форум для левых партий. В этот период он перевел на итальянский язык « Капитал» Карла Маркса .
На съезде Итальянской социалистической партии в 1959 году он выступил против создания правительственного соглашения с Итальянской христианско-демократической партией. Это привело к его исключению из партии.
He then moved to Turin, where he worked for the Einaudi publishing house. He forged links with several groups of militant trade unionists, socialists and dissident communists. Influenced by the French group Socialisme ou Barbarie he founded the Quaderni Rossi (Red Notebooks) review, together with Mario Tronti, Romano Alquati and Danilo Montaldi.
In the industrial revolt of the piazza Statuto in 1962 in Turin, Panzieri saw the emergence of the central role of the factory and the (factory) worker. The first editions of the review, which aimed at exploring the real life of the factory and the relationship of the workers to production, had a profound impact in the sphere of workplace struggles, as they departed from the habitual positions of the socialists and communists in this area. Mario Tronti would split off in 1963 to form the review Classe Operaia (Working Class).
This review was the cradle of operaismo (workerism), a Marxist tendency popular in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s.
He died in Turin, aged 43.
