Revolutionary Communism Party
The Party of Revolutionary Communism (Russian Партия революционного коммунизма) was a political party in Russia. It was formed by a Narodniki group that broke away from the Left Social Revolutionaries after the mutiny of the Left SR in July 1918 . In September 1918 they constituted themselves as a party at a congress in Moscow. The party advocated cooperation with the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and pledged support from the Soviet authorities.
The party published Воля Труд ( Volya Truda , dt. The desire for work ), which was published from September 14 to December 4, 1918 as a daily newspaper. On December 29, 1918, the daily newspaper was replaced by a magazine with the same title.
Lenin felt their program remained on the platform of Narodnik utopianism, confused and varied. While the party recognized that Soviet rule created the conditions for the establishment of a socialist system, it denied the need for proletarian dictatorship during the transition from capitalism to socialism. Throughout its existence, some of its groups broke away from the party. Some of them joined the CPSU (including Andrei Kolegayev , Anastasia Bizenko , M. Dobrokhotov and others), while others stayed with the left SRs. Two representatives of the Party of Revolutionary Communism were allowed to take part in the Second Congress of the Comintern in an advisory capacity, but without votes .
In September 1920, following the decision of the Second World Congress of the Comintern, the party of revolutionary communism decided that there should be a single communist party in every country to join the CPSU. In October of the same year, the Central Committee of the leading Communist Party allowed members of the former Revolutionary Communist Party to enroll.
