'''Italian Left Communism''', also called '''Ultra Left''', '''International Left''' or simply '''Left Communism''' 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.
This ideology refers specifically to the Italian strain of Left Communism, although other left communist ideologies also exist, namely, [[File:Councom.png]] [[Council Communism|Dutch-German leftcoms (Council Communists)]] and Russian leftcoms. These ideologies do have some similarities, the most significant being anti-trade unionism, anti-nationalism/internationalism, and anti-parliamentarism. As well as the belief that true socialism is stateless and classless, and can only be achieved when the capitalist mode of commodity production is completely abolished. Every "socialist" who does not is merely an opportunist capitalist.

==History==
===The Italian Left and the formation of the Communist Party of Italy===
The Italian Left's origins can be traced back to the struggle of the so-called intransigent revolutionary faction, re-established in 1910 to cure the PSI(Italian Socialist Party) of its reformism. When this faction was revived in July 1917 it was in quite a different context. The 1st World War had been raging for almost three years and the PSI had all but disintegrated under its impact.<br>
The new faction was being resurrected under the impetus of Amadeo Bordiga and the Naples section to which he belonged. At the time, like Luxemburg, Bordiga slowly reached the conclusion that the revolutionisation of Social Democracy was impossible and thus there was a need to forge a communist faction which broke from the Social Democracy of the SPD and the 2nd International.<br>
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>
