'''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.
