Futurism in 9 Minutes: How to Rewrite Culture

“The caffeine of Europe,” as he liked to call himself, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was the godfather of Futurism, Italy's most coherent artistic movement of the 20th century. In this video, you'll learn why Futurism attacked traditions, promoted "the beautiful ideas which kill" and claimed that beauty exists only in struggle.

It's interesting how Italian futurism, Marinetti in particular, influenced the rise of Italian fascism. Another futurist movement was based in Russia mostly comprised of poets who were sticking to the revolutionary communist ideals, but they drew inspiration from Italy where the futurist manifesto became a part of an ideological basis for the claimed anti-communist ideology. Also yes it's weird how you would draw connection between fascism and conservatism since it seems obvious but Marinetti, a futurist denying traditionalist and bourgeois ideas, was in fact the first affiliate of the fascist party. And then, knowing the connection between such radically progressive and therefore"lefty" looking art and ideology movement as futurism and such a radical political landmark as fascism you can see how broken our mass perception of fascism and fascistic regimes in post-WW1 Europe is. All is seen through a different lense when you find out Mussolini used to be a communist and Marinetti helped him write the manifesto Europe was in an interesting state at the time, empires fell and the path to create nations on those ruins and reorient politics towards the regular working folk was established. And the esthetical and ideological shift in art represents this confusing broken up state of that time very well

[@inksoldier5544]

Well, ideologically speaking, that's because early fascism's ideological foundation is actually semi-socialist and semi-progressive nationalist (but alternatively progressive)

[@princekalender2154]

People wrongly assume that "fascism=/=conservatism". That futurists also popped up in Soviet Russia shows that it had anti bourgeois ideals, whether in Russia or Italy. It's a fascinanting period of European history.

[@gabbar51ngh]

There's literally no direct connection of Conservatism to Fascism despite the modern day popular belief. Interestingly there's more socialist influences on Fascism than anything conservative. Infact fascism is more of an offshoot socialist ideology competing with the former when you look at it's origin.

Marinetti founded the PPF (Futurist Political Party) who would later officially join the fascist party. Overall its pretty hard to judge how close fascism and futurism were, the two were pretty close around 1919 just to distance themselves later and get close again. Although Marinetti was a close friend of Mussolini he and most of the futurist "leaders" did not have any official ties with fascism and at least one futurist, Sam Benelli, was openly antifascist.
