The group that split from our party in 1973 over fundamental issues such as the party’s conception and its actions, and which organized itself in Florence (Italy) with its own newspaper entitled “Il Partito comunista “ (The Communist Party), presenting itself as the “organ of the International Communist Party,” recently underwent a split—the causes of which it did not deem necessary to explain to its readers, nor did the other faction.

After the split, for legal reasons, its newspaper changed its title: since July-September 2024, the new publication is called “il Partito Comunista Internazionale,” the same name as the party (1), while the website kept the same address: international-communist-party.org.

For some time now, this group has also been distributing documents and information through a newsletter called [PCInt]Newsletter. This title adds to the confusion already caused by the existence of several political groups that have split off from the former “International Communist Party-Il programma comunista,” given that PCInt is an abbreviation we have been using for decades and has also been the acronym of our website since its creation.

Today, in a persistent period of profound counterrevolution and dramatic depression of the proletarian class struggle, there are many groups that call themselves “communist” or proclaim themselves “revolutionary”; there are also groups that claim to be the heirs or sole continuators of the Italian Communist Left and the international communist party formed after World War II—and which they have each betrayed in turn.

For our part, to distinguish ourselves from other groups, we follow the name of the party with the title of the publication in the corresponding language.

Faced with those who sow confusion, we have nothing to do but to continue the classist fight and theoretical and political criticism with the utmost clarity, in line with the precepts of Marxist theory and the historical experience of Lenin’s Bolshevism and the Italian Communist Left.

It is not proclamations or publication titles, but the real facts of the proletarian class struggle and political action that will demonstrate which party organization effectively represents the class consciousness of the proletariat at the international level and which will therefore be able to place itself at the head of the most advanced layers of the proletariat to guide them towards the anti-capitalist revolution.
