Other Notes: Il congresso dei morti was serialized in 1919; its literary setting is distinct from a historical political congress. Issue I.28 names him in the proposed propaganda-school program for economic determinism, the Communist Manifesto and justice, as well as the inaugural Da cittadino a produttore address announced for 30 November. This announcement does not by itself establish that the lessons took place.
