The article explores the political thought of Andrea Caffi (1887–1955), situating him as a critical yet often overlooked voice in twentieth-century debates on revolution, violence, and the state. Central to his philosophy is a radical critique of the state as intrinsically coercive, incapable of fostering justice or freedom. Instead, Caffi envisioned “society” as a fragile but essential sphere of spontaneous sociability, grounded in human solidarity and free from domination.

Abstract
The article explores the political thought of Andrea Caffi (1887–1955), situating him as a critical yet often overlooked voice in twentieth-century debates on revolution, violence, and the state. Central to his philosophy is a radical critique of the state as intrinsically coercive, incapable of fostering justice or freedom. Instead, Caffi envisioned “society” as a fragile but essential sphere of spontaneous sociability, grounded in human solidarity and free from domination.
