Mark Antliff has suggested that this futurist aesthetic was “designed to involve the  spectator in the very politics that led to Italy’s intervention in  World War I and, ultimately, to the rise of Fascism in Italy”. The art historian Giovanni Lista has identified this aesthetic as first appearing in the anarcho-syndicalist current, where Marinetti encountered the Sorelian “myths of action and violence.”
