An examination of far-right influence within Italian soccer and wider realms of the “peripheries”.
“In its renunciation of everything, the left has ended up regarding it as inappropriate to maintain any kind of organic link with the ‘people’, who by definition are not (and never have been) very presentable in sophisticated settings, whether economic or intellectual.
