Would love to read a good essay about the wave of far-left terrorism that wracked Europe in the 1970s and why it dissipated.

@ChMadar@harrysiegel How bout all of it. I mean, extremist political violence was relatively common Europe in the 1970s -
@chrislhayes Yes, that'd be a fine study. Interesting that left-terrorism has captured imagination of culture-makers much more than right-. -
@ChMadar and also weird that none of the history has been mentioned at all this week. As if this is entirely w/o precedent on the continent -
@chrislhayes Yes: where's the history? Late-50's FLN attacks in France might be more meaningful antecedents than 70's left-terrorism. -
Maybe you liberals should "study" Operation Gladio before you opine on "Left wing extremist terrorism".
@ChMadar@chrislhayes -
@PhilGreaves01@ChMadar@chrislhayes Heavens no! Mustn't touch those dangerous "conspiracy theories"!

@ChMadar@harrysiegel and then it just...went away. At the time it felt like a central existential issue (I know it did in IT w/ Aldo Moro) -
@chrislhayes You probably know of this one already, but Sciascia's essay on Moro affair = the only government report that is also great lit. -
@ChMadar YEs! I read that when I studied in Italy
