This week commemorates the 41st anniversary of the Bologna Massacre.
The Bologna massacre was the bombing of the Bologna train station, perpetrated by far-right groups explicitly formed with the purpose of committing counter-attacks against the left. This bombing killed 85 and wounded more than 200.
In short, the strategy of the left was more akin to a Third World guerilla insurrection, while the right hoped to provoke the state into clamping down on the left through false flags and other large-scale acts of terrorism.
Some believe the United States is headed toward another Civil War, but the “Italian Years of Lead” might be the real future for America.
