You are very welcome to this podcast: History Re-Read. On the first Monday of every month, I present a commentary on a famous text from history. Something familiar that many of you will already have read, while others, myself included, might feel it to be something we should have read, or must have read but can’t remember doing so. Over the other Mondays of the month, I am relating that text audiobook style either in full or abridged form.

Futurism fuelled Italian Fascism, aesthetically; its Russian variant inspired a worker’s revolution and then ameliorated the early years of communism for an erstwhile bourgeois class that then had to behave itself in keeping with proletarian principles.
In addition to the analysis, there is the Manifesto related in full, the preface to a Russian volume of prose and poetry, A Slap in the Face of Public Taste, which stands as something of a manifesto for the Russian Futurists. Then there is the Italian Fascist Co-authored by the writer of the Futurist Manifesto, F T Marinetti.

The Italian Fascist Manifesto (1919)
Mussolini had been in peacetime editor of Avanti, the main social newspaper. He was now owner of what was to be the essential organ of the Fascist movement in Italy from 1914. This was ‘The People of Italy.’ Here, the Manifesto of the Fascist Struggle or simply the Fascist Manifesto was first published on June 6, 1919.

Marinetti’s Call from The Summit
Futurism for Marinetti was about capturing the movement of the machine in art, at immeasurable, still more, unimaginable levels of speed prior to the industrial revolution. The motor car exemplified this. Futurism was about both the violence implicit in the impact of industrialization on society as well as the manner of man needed to operate its machinery, and, for Marinetti, the welcome danger of speed for man by means of the machine as automobile.
