L'eretico della sinistra: Bruno Rizzi elitista democratico

Bruno Rizzi (March 20, 1901—January 13, 1977) was an Italian unorthodox political theorist. Born in Porto Mantovano, he joined the Italian Socialist Party in 1918 but among others, left in 1921 to be among the founders of the Communist Party of Italy (PCI) in 1921. He left the PCI in 1930. Due to persecution by the Fascist regime, Rizzi emigrated to France. During the later 1930s he intervened in the debates involving Leon Trotsky, James Burnham and Yvan Craipeau concerning the nature of the Soviet Union. His most important work, La Bureaucratisation du Monde ("Bureaucratisation of the World"), was published in Paris in 1939.
