While the modern American view is to associate Futurism strictly with its Italian version, the movement reached far further than that, and took on many forms. There were a number of Russian futurists, for example, who later became split on the issue of the revolution, running the full gamut of hostile to enthusiastic. The latter included the great revolutionary poet and artist Vladimir Mayakovsky, who was open about his art functioning as agitprop. Meanwhile, you have the Polish Futurist Munifesto on the Eemmeedyet Fyoochooryzayshun of Lyfe, which (you will forgive me for not keeping up with the programmatic alternative spelling) outlined "three fundamental moments of modern life: machine, democracy, and the crowd" and demanded "absolute equal rights for women in all fields of private and public life." The common threads throughout all strands of futurism were praise for technology and machinery, a veneration of speed and dynamics of modern life, a demand for a complete rebuilding of society, and a contempt for the past, especially its artistic legacy. This often comes with some degree of approval of violence and reverence for war (although there is a very clear caesura here where before WWI war is approved of as an agent of future change, while after the war it is merely met with respect as the impulse that made ongoing social change possible and there is little appetite for more of it). Munifesto on the Eemmeedyet Fyoochooryzayshun of Lyfe posted:The all-global war has caused, alongside a great shifting of entire states, strata, and nations, a great shifting in values. The result of this is the cultural crisis seen today all throughout Eastern and Western Europe. Here [tr. note: in Poland, lit. "in our home," "among us"], the crisis manifests itself in a particularly acute and specific form. A century and a half of political enslavement pressed a hard, indelible mark on our entire physiognomy, psyche, and production. Our cultural consciousness could not develop as freely as in Western states. Out of necessity, our entire national energy discharged in the direction of the greatest pressure, towards a laborious and unending struggle for language, life, and own organisations. That direction, the fight for an own national "I" and the building of a tough, unbreakable, all-resistant, and vitally capable psyche, was where Polish art discharged itself as well. Also the proper term for what the OP is talking about should be Futurologist, but those guys got owned by Lem so hard they immediately ceased to exist, so
