This said, CP (their initials, ironically, used frequently) take inspiration from autonomism, and Gramsci, run their own network of fascist squats, etc. Future skinheads who read left.

Casa Pound made their biggest global headlines late last year, when a member, a fantasy novelist/metalhead guy, killed several Senegalese migrants in Florence.
