Errico Malatesta  

Definition

  • Errico Malatesta (1853–1932) was an Italian anarcho-communist whose writings remain influential within contemporary anarchist movements. Initially an advocate of an insurrectionary approach to social change emphasizing the agitational work of small bands of activists in fomenting uprisings or revolution, Malatesta came to argue that anarchists should be most active mobilizing within working-class communities.
