Garòsci stayed faithful to his own vision of a "autonomous revolution", which he shared with various "Giellisti" making their own contribution to the liberation struggle in the fascist puppet state Northern Italy (where the German armies continued the fight to hold off any further Anglo-American military advance). These comrades included many longstanding friends and intellectual heavy-weights such as , , Valiani, Venturi and Vittorio Foa. That meant subordinating any personal preferences of his own to the "bottom up" initiatives to be expected from the &lt;a href="National%20Liberation%20Committee"&gt;National Liberation Committee ("Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale,"/ CLN)&lt;/a&gt;. It was only after the war ended in 1945, with prospects for the continuity of the state clearly established, that he moved away from his own wilder revolutionary preferences and reverted to a more traditionalist version of Rosselli's Hendiadys".
