Uncommon card · No. 197027

Carlo Alberto Rosselli (16 November 1899 – 9 June 1937) was an Italian anti-fascist, journalist, and philosopher. He developed a theory of "liberal socialism," a form of post-Marxist, reformist socialism directly inspired by the success of the British Labour Party and the Labour movement in the UK, as well as by the historical-political tradition of liberal and libertarian radicalism, both in Italy and abroad. In 1925, he founded the caldestine publication Non Mollare, and in 1926 he founded the Milan based journal Ill Quarto Stato, with Pietro Nenni. In 1929, Rosselli founded the anti-fascist militant movement Giustizia e Libertà. Rosselli personally took part in combat in the Spanish Civil War, where he served on the Republican side. He was murdered, alongside his brother, by fascists in France on the order of Benito Mussolini.
