'''Italian Left Communism''', also called '''Ultra Left''', '''International Left''' is an economically far-left, Marxist ideology. It is a form of Communism based off of the ideas and writings of the Italian left-communists, mainly Amadeo Bordiga and Onorato Damen, along with the International Communist Party. It is recognized to be the furthest Left Unity ideology on the compass. It opposes democracy, anti-fascism and the concept of a "Popular Front". It is a [[File:Orthlen.png]] [[Leninism|Leninist]] ideology that opposes [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism]], believing it to be a bourgeois current. It regards Stalin as a bourgeois opportunist and regards other Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries, such as [[File:Castro-M-26-7.png]] [[National Communism|Fidel Castro]], [[File:Guevara.png]] [[Guevarism|Che Guevara]], [[File:HoChiMinh.png]] [[Ho Chi Minh Thought|Ho Chi Minh]] and [[File:Mao.png]] [[Maoism|Mao Zedong]] as bourgeois, not proletarian, revolutionaries. While Damen and most Italian left communists considered the Soviet Union to be a bourgeois, capitalist state like any other, Bordiga would go around the thesis and proclaim that the USSR was a state-industrialist state.

 

In 1919 at the PSI Congress in Bologna, the Serrati maximalists obtained a clear majority, but the new Left, which was gathering especially around Bordiga as a Communist Abstentionist Fraction against electoral illusions and for the organisation of the revolutionary conquest of power, took shape more and more clearly. The Left had created the Abstentionist Communist Fraction, proclaiming its theoretical base in Marxism, in complete agreement with the tactical line and strategic objectives of the Third International. The only dissent concerned participation in political elections and revolutionary parliamentarism supported by the Bolsheviks.<br>

In January 1921, at the Congress of Livorno, the Communist Left broke with the old and reformist PSI: on the basis of the "21 Conditions" of Moscow it founded The Communist Party of Italy, section of the Third International, and took over the leadership.<br>

==Personality==

Italian Left Communism loves to sit in an armchair all day reading Marx, Bordiga, Damen, Cammette, Dauvé, and Chirik among others while complaining about other leftists. He often defends this behavior with "Theory is praxis." He is often depicted as being hypercritical and cynical to such a degree that no ideology will associate with him apart from [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism]].
