[edit] Biography
Born in Naples, Labriola studied jurisprudence and joined the Italian Socialist Party in 1895, representing its revolutionary wing - in contrast with Filippo Turati. After backing the riots of 1898, he had to flee in order to ellude arrest.
He returned to Italy in 1900, and in 1902 published a weekly called Avanguardia Socialista which became the center of activity for Italian revolutionary syndicalism. He nonetheless withdrew his support for revolution, and adopted Marxist Reformism, becoming a member of the Italian Parliament as an independent. Favourable to Italy's participation in World War I, Labriola also served as Minister of Labor in the last of Giovanni Giolitti's cabinets (1920).
An opponent of Fascism, he had to take exile in France after Benito Mussolini came to power, and returned only in 1945, serving as appointed senator in the Constituent Assembly of the new Republic.
