International Communist Party
The International Communist Party (ICP) was founded in 1943 under the name " Internationalist Communist Party " (Partito Comunista Internazionalista) in northern Italy. Communists, mostly of Italian origin, who had remained loyal to the strictly internationalist and orthodox-Marxist positions represented by Amadeo Bordiga , gathered in it . Most of the members had been expelled from the official Stalinist KPI by the early 1930s at the latest .
history
In 1952 the party split, the wing around Bordiga called itself since 1961, with the affiliation of a section of the party in France, now the International Communist Party .
The emphasis of the party was on the "restoration of the communist program", that is, the defense of the original Marxist theory of revolution against the falsifications of the Marxist theory by Stalin and others. Amadeo Bordiga in particular set out in several detailed writings why the Soviet Union (and the other "real socialist" states) was not socialist, but represented a special form of capitalist development.
After Bordiga's death in 1970 there were several divisions within the IKP (1972, 1981). These resulting groups still exist in several countries today.
