Summary/Abstract: Longo mai began in the early 1970s as a response to youth disillusionment with industrial society, evolving into a network of rural cooperatives across Europe focused on sustainable living, self-sufficiency, and solidarity. Over time, the movement launched social and political initiatives, including support for refugees, local radio, and international cooperation projects, notably in Eastern Europe and the former Yugoslavia. It aims to model a multicultural, cooperative society grounded in anti-racism, collective self-management, and resistance to competitive capitalism.
