Portuguese Maximalist Federation
The Portuguese Maximalist Federation ( or ) was a revolutionary movement founded on April 27, 1919 in Lisbon. The organization was inspired by the most radical factions involved in the Russian revolution of 1917, and was mostly composed by anarchists, syndicalists and the revolutionary left of the Portuguese Socialist Party. History Towards the end of World War I, Portugal fell into a serious economic crisis, in part due to the Portuguese military intervention in the war. The Portuguese working classes responded to the deterioration in their living standards with a wave of strikes. Supported by an emerging labour movement, the workers achieved some of their objectives, such as an eight-hour working day. But a feeling of political powerlessness, the lack of a coherent political strategy among the Portuguese working class and the growing popularity of the Russian Revolution, led to the foundation of the Portuguese Maximalist Federation (FMP) on April 27, 1919. The goal of FMP ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

See malice (law). brought about by reasonable provocation, or diminished capacity.
