International Communist Party

The Communist Party in the Tradition of the Left is a comprehensive journey through our party's rich history, born out of the pivotal moments of internal strife that defined our path. It emerged as a response to the significant splits that shaped our trajectory. It all started with the schism in 1951, followed by the emergence of a separate organization aligned with "Il Programma Comunista," and culminating in the tumultuous 'dirty' split of 1973. These events are the backdrop against which this text was written, tracing the evolution of our party's core principles and our steadfast dedication to revolutionary Marxism. This book serves a dual purpose: firstly, it acts as a meticulous historical record, chronicling our passage through turbulent times marked by ideological shifts and organizational transitions. Secondly, it underscores our resolute dedication to preserving the essence of our party-the unique program that has guided us for decades. Through this exploration, we aim to offer readers profound insights into our party's history, characterized by an unwavering pursuit of doctrinal unity and continuity, regardless of the challenges we have faced. This book is more than a historical account. It's a manifesto for a new generation of readers, a testament to the enduring strength of a party that seeks to shape the future. It calls for the study of Marx and Lenin, those luminaries who have guided the party's course throughout history. This work is a call to action, a rallying cry for the preservation of the revolutionary spirit.

This is a translation of "Seconda Guerra mondiale - conflitto imperialista su entrambi i fronti contro il proletariato e contro la Rivoluzione." A work, whose publication in Italian occupies the whole of issue 40 of the journal Comunismo. Besides showing how the war was an anti-proletarian phenomena, it exposes, with direct quotes, the fact that WW2 was led to exterminate and beat down workers: Little known facts such as how the Allies, during the "liberation" of Italy, led bombing runs of working class neighborhoods in order to demoralize revolutionary spirited workers. The information here is staggering: The fraternization of Wehrmacht troops with Italian workers; the struggle of the Stalinist PCI against fraternization by means of the same shameless and disgusting racism that all the other Stalinist parties engaged in during the war. Why did troop fraternization fail during WW2 to a much bigger extent than in WW1: this work explains it. It was the Resistance, using calculated terrorist attacks to divide Italian workers from the uniformed German workers. The myth of everything the bourgeois left holds dear about the second World War is torn apart in this work. The documentation of the activities of the Italian Communist Left during the war is an important weapon for it shows how ours was the only Party that did not fall into non-Marxist opportunism.

The Other Left Opposition The Italian Communist Left (aka the Promoteo group or the Bordigists) has been slandered and misrepresented by the other dissident communist currents making up the so called "Left Opposition." Consisting of a 12 part collection, written over the course of two decades, this work provides a clear history of the creation of the Third Communist International (Comintern), the formation of the Communist Party of Italy, and the genesis of counterrevolution in Russia. Included in this volume is a collection of the many foundational theses by the Communist Left. As the last vestiges of Stalinism fade into history, readers will find the admonitions of the Italian Communist Left about the burgeoning calamity of counterrevolution ring true today.
