Italian Left Communism
'Left Communism' redirects here, for other ideologies see Left Communism (Disambiguation)
Left Communism, also called Ultraleftism, is a far left ideology inhabiting the left edge of the political compass, and centre vertically, occasionally placed in a more libertarian position.
Left Communism is made up of several different ideologies who share similarities, including German Council Communism and Italian Programmism ("Bordigism), thus it's use as an umbrella term. Among these similarities is anti-trade unionism, anti-nationalism/internationalism, and anti-parliamentarism. As well as the belief that true socialism is stateless, 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.
He loves to sit in an armchair all day reading Marx, Bordiga, Pannekoek, Damen, and Chirik among others, while complaining about other leftists. What is often forgotten is that those of the Italian Communist Left do consider themselves Leninists, being described as "more Leninist than Lenin". Lenin's work "Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder" criticised 
left communists in Britain and Germany who did not consider themselves Leninist.
Stylistic Notes
Generally portrayed as sitting in an armchair and says things like "theory is praxis".
