88 [Editor’s note] In 1884, Malatesta, Merlino and others were convincted in Rome for association of malefactors. In 1921, Malatesta and others stood trial in Milan on a number of charges, including conspiracy and incitement to class hatred. The trial was actually unrelated to the Diana theater bombing of March 23, 1921. In fact, the bombing was an act of protest against Malatesta’s prolonged detention without trial.

96 The new series of L’Agitazione was published in Ancona from March 14, 1900 until April 11 of the next year. The editorial office was then moved to Rome, where the paper carried on publishing from June 14, 1901 until May 1, 1906 (Bettini, 145–46 and 153–55).
97 Bettini, 190–1 and 236–37. Of the two papers named above, La Vita Operaia was undoubtedly the most important. Founded by Fabbri and Felicioli as well as Angelozzi, it was published from April 1906 to November 1907, to shut down for good in February 1908. An expression of anarchist syndicalism, it provided the model followed by Lo Sprone between June and September 1910, albeit in a smaller format.

Socialists and Elections:
A Letter from E. Malatesta
Translated from “I socialisti e le elezioni: Una lettera di E. Malatesta,”
Il Messaggero (Rome) 19, no. 38 (February 7, 1897).106
From London, Errico Malatesta, too, presumes upon Il Messaggero’s hospitality in order to reply to Saverio Merlino’s letter, published in our January 29 issue.107
London, February 2, 1897108
Mr. Editor of the Messaggero,
I am informed that Italy’s parliamentary socialists are putting it about that I, agreeing with Merlino, see some purpose in anarchist socialists taking part in election contests by voting for the most progressive candidate.
Since they honor me by even considering my opinion, I will not be thought presumptuous if I hasten to let them and the public know what I truly think on this issue.
I certainly do not query my friend Merlino’s right to his own thoughts and to express them without holding back. It might have been better had he, prior to making a public announcement about a switch of tactics, which after all is worthless unless the comrades agree to it, discussed the matter at greater length with members of the party to which he has hitherto belonged and alongside which I hope he will be willing to carry on fighting. But the blame for that belongs, not so much to Merlino, as to the prolonged crisis by which our party has been beset and the, as yet, fledgling stage of reorganization in which we find ourselves.
But it needs to be placed on record that what Merlino has said regarding parliamentarism and electoral tactics is merely a personal view, not binding upon whatever tactics are to be adopted by the anarchist socialist party.
For my own part, much though it may displease me to take issue on such an important matter with as worthy a fellow as Merlino, to whom I am bound by so many ties of affection, I feel it my duty to state that, as I see it, the tactics advocated by Merlino are damaging and would of necessity lead to the abandonment of the entire anarchist socialist program. And I think I am speaking the thoughts of all, or nearly all, anarchists there.
The anarchists remain, as ever, resolutely opposed to parliamentarism and parliamentary tactics.
Opposed to parliamentarism because they believe that socialism should and can only be achieved through a free federation of producer and consumer associations, and that any government, parliamentary government included, is not merely powerless to resolve the social question and reconcile and satisfy everybody’s interests, but of itself represents a privileged class, with ideas, passions, and interests contrary to those of the people, which it can oppress by means of the people’s own strength. Opposed to the parliamentary tactics because they believe that, far from encouraging the development of popular consciousness, it has a tendency to disaccustom
