History and profile

Classe Operaia was founded by a group of Marxist intellectuals who left another Marxist magazine entitled Quaderni Rossi.[1][2] The first issue of Classe Operaia came out in January 1964.[1] Asor Rosa and Mario Tronti co-edited the magazine from its start in 1964 to 1966.[3] One of the contributors was philosopher Antonio Negri.[4]

Target audience of Classe Operaia was the workers.[4] The magazine's debut editorial, "Lenin in Inghilterra" (Italian: "Lenin in England"), by Mario Tronti emphasized the need to change the Marxist tradition which included the modification the dominant perspective of the period.[4][5] Such a change was reported to be related to first the working class and its struggles and to the capital and its development.[1] The last issue of the magazine appeared in March 1967.[1]
