For other meanings of autonomism, see
autonomism (disambiguation) page Autonomism refers to a set of
left-wing political and social movements and theories close to the
socialist movement. Autonomism (autonomia) emerged in
Italy in the 1960s from
workerist (
operaismo)
communism. Later, post-
Marxist and
anarchist tendencies became significant after influence from the
Situationists, the failure of the Italian far-left movements in the 1970s and the emergence of a number of important theorists including
Antonio Negri, who had contributed to the 1969 founding of
Potere Operaio Marxist group, Mario Tronti, Paolo Virno, etc. It influenced the German and Dutch Autonomen, the worldwide
Social Center movement, and today is influential in Italy, France, the United States and some other English-speaking countries. Those who describe themselves as autonomists now vary from workerist Marxists to
post-structuralists and (some) anarchists.
