Abstract

The goals of the workers’ movement havealways encompassed economic and industrialdemocracy, whose main feature is the intentionto extend to the production activity domain,the democratic and participative principlestypical of public-sector entities. Being awareof the unclear and authoritarian nature of themanagement of that domain, the political partiesand organisations that were behind the workers’movement – considering both its reformist andsocial democratic wing, and its revolutionary andcommunist wing – leveraged the reunification ofthe political and economic domains to define theirown pattern of society. This contribution sets outto summarise the main steps of the evolution of thesocialist and communist theories in this specificfield. After an overview of the Marxian thoughtconcerning the split between / reunification ofthe political and economic domains, the authoranalyses the Middle-European debate in generalterms, as well as the different theories developedin Italy between the aftermath of WWI, and theend of the 1980s.
