Title translates to "Parliamentary Politics in the Socialist Movement. " Errico Malatesta (1853-1932) was a leading Italian anarchist and agitator. He was an advocate of the "propaganda of the deed, " a doctrine advocated by many Italian anarchists, which stood for the proposition that revolutionary ideas could best be spread by armed insurrection. Malatesta became politically active while still in his teens, joining the First International in 1871. He was a dynamic speaker and propagandist and soon became a leader in the global anarchist movement, helping to organize anarchist revolutionary groups in Romania, Italy, Spain, and elsewhere in Europe, in Egypt, and in North and South America, including Argentina. He was imprisoned for a total of about 12 years during his long career and was sentenced to death three times! Though often associated with the Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin, Malatesta laid more emphasis on the organization of revolutionaries and workers as a means of achieving anarchist political goals. Accordingly, he helped organize workers congresses in France, Belgium, and Switzerland at which he urged armed revolt, and subsequently he was banished from each of those countries. After 1900 he lived more or less quietly in London for many years, taking time out to agitate for revolution in Italy in 191314. He returned permanently to Italy after an amnesty in 1919, engaging in political activity until the Fascists rise to power in 1922 (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2017) .
