Il programma comunista

Il programma comunista is a bimonthly periodical that serves as the official press organ of the Partito Comunista Internazionale (International Communist Party), a left-communist political organisation rooted in the Italian tradition of Amadeo Bordiga. Founded in 1952 by Bordiga and Bruno Maffi, the publication is one of the oldest continuously published titles of the Italian communist left. It is printed in Milan and distributed nationally across Italy, with international connections through the party's sections abroad. The periodical's editorial line traces its lineage from Marx and Lenin to the founding of the Communist International and the Partito Comunista d'Italia, and then to the struggle of the communist left against what it describes as the degeneration of the Comintern, the theory of socialism in one country, Stalinist counter-revolution, popular fronts, and partisan and national blocs. It emphasises the restoration of revolutionary doctrine and organisation in contact with the working class, rejecting personalism and electoral politics. Until the end of the 1960s, Il programma comunista hosted anonymous contributions by Bordiga himself, as well as by other collaborators; the corpus of these texts is regarded as being of extreme rigour. The paper continues to publish articles on contemporary political events, repression by the state, and international conflicts, maintaining a militant and polemical tone consistent with its historical identity.

Il programma comunista was founded in 1952 by Amadeo Bordiga and Bruno Maffi as the press organ of the Partito Comunista Internazionale. Bordiga, a founding member and first leader of the Partito Comunista d'Italia, had broken with the Stalinist leadership of the Communist International after the 1926 Lyon Congress. The new periodical became a platform for the Italian communist left, which rejected the Comintern's degeneration, the theory of socialism in one country, popular fronts, and national blocs. Until the end of the 1960s, the paper hosted anonymous contributions from Bordiga and other collaborators, a practice that ensured the collective and doctrinal character of the publication. The corpus of these texts is described as being of extreme rigour. The journal is one of the oldest titles of the Italian communist left still published. Currently, Il programma comunista is printed in Milan and distributed nationally, with international connections through the party's foreign sections. It continues to publish bimonthly, addressing contemporary political events, state repression, and international conflicts from a revolutionary Marxist perspective.
