International Communist Party

The International Communist Party (ICP ) was founded in 1943 in northern Italy under the name " Internationalist Communist Party" ( Internationalist Communist ). In it, those accumulated Communists mostly of Italian origin who had remained faithful to the view taken by Amadeo Bordiga strictly internationalist and orthodox Marxist positions. Most of the members had been excluded later than the beginning of the 1930s from the official Stalinist KPI.

In 1952 the party split, the wing around Bordiga was called since 1961, with the annexation of a section of the party in France, now " International Communist Party."

The focus of the party was on the " restoration of the communist program ", ie, the defense of the original Marxist theory of revolution against the falsification of Marxist theory by Stalin and others. In particular, Amadeo Bordiga explained in more detailed writings why the Soviet Union ( and the other " socialist " countries ) was not socialist, but represented a particular form of capitalist development.

After the death of Bordiga 1970, there were several divisions within the ICP (1972, 1981). These resulting from it groups still exist in several countries.
