Abstract

This paper will deal with two relevant issues in the intellectual
history of twentieth-century Europe: 1) the relationship between socialism, antifascism and antitotalitarianism; 2) the possibilities of a democratic revolution in the midst of the Second World War. In order to analyse them, I will focus on Leo Valiani’s biography and thought between 1939 and 1944, when he left the Communist Party and became a prominent figure of the “Partito d’Azione”. A special attention will be paid to the ways in which Valiani’s antitotalitarian and revolutionary socialism was tied to the complex legacies of the Italian antifascist group “Giustizia e Libertà”.
