The Futurist Political Party (Italian: Partito Politico Futurista) was an Italian political party founded in 1918 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti as an extension of the futurist artistic and social movement. The party had a radical program which included promoting gender parity and abolishing marriage, inheritance, military service, and secret police. The party was absorbed into the Fasci Italiani di Combattimento in 1919.

Futurist Democracy

  • The abolition of marriage, with children raised by the state with funds raised by a "tax on free love".
  • Bureaucratic decentralization. Abolition of seniority in state careers.
  • "Technical government without Senate" (ie, a "youth council", made up of a dozen people under 30 years, elected by universal suffrage direct).
  • Land reform
  • Gender equality in employment and participation in political life
  • Creation of "schools of courage and patriotism" (which eventually became the Opera Nazionale Balilla)
  • Prison reform and abolition of the political police.
