Amadeo Bordiga and the Myth of Antonio Gramsci
AMADEO BORDIGA AND THE MYTH OF ANTONIO GRAMSCI John Chiaradia PREFACE A fruitful contribution to the renaissance of Marxism requires a purely historical treatment of the twenties as a period of the revolutionary working class movement which is now entirely closed. This is the only way to make its experiences and lessons properly relevant to the essentially new phase of the present. Gyorgy Lukács, 1967 Marxism has been the greatest fantasy of our century. Leszek Kolakowski When I began this commentary, both the USSR and the PCI (the Italian Communist Party) had disappeared. Basing myself on earlier archival work and supplementary readings, I set out to show that the change signified by the rise of Antonio Gramsci to leadership (1924-1926) had, contrary to nearly all extant commentary on that event, a profoundly negative impact on Italian Communism. As a result and in time, the very essence of the party was drained, and it was derailed from its original intent, namely, that of class revolution. As a consequence of these changes, the party would play an altogether different role from the one it had been intended for. By way of evidence, my intention was to establish two points and draw the connecting straight line. They were: one, developments in the Soviet party; two, the tandem echo in the Italian party led by Gramsci, with the connecting line being the ideology and practices associated at the time with Stalin, which I label Center communism. Hence, from the time of Gramsci’s return from the USSR in 1924, there had been a parental relationship between the two parties.

Compagne E Compagni, Come Militante Della Federazione Di Pisa
Compagne e compagni, come militante della Federazione di Pisa, esprimo una profonda soddisfazione per la qualità complessiva delle tesi congressuali, con le quali viene riposizionata al centro del dibattito la questione comunista, con il fine della costruzione del Partito comunista. Ora come mai l'affermazione “comunismo o barbarie” è dimostrata a livello mondiale dalle politiche inique adottate dal capitalismo per “uscire dalla crisi”. Politiche che immiseriscono le vite di tutte le classi subalterne e gettano il seme di nuove guerre imperialiste. Moltissimi compagni in Italia che hanno smesso di andare a votare, rifiutando questa democrazia vuota nata con il maggioritario, guardano ora al nostro Congresso fondativo con grandi aspettative, così come tutta quell'area di giovani, disoccupati o precari, donne e tutti quei soggetti che non hanno trovato negli ultimi trent'anni un Partito nel quale sentirsi compiutamente rappresentati e che vivono una vita di difficoltà dovuta alle dinamiche del sistema capitalistico. Sentiamo il peso della responsabilità di aver deciso di dar vita al Partito comunista, anche per avere alle nostre spalle una storia complessa fatta di vittorie, di errori e sconfitte. E per tornare a vincere dobbiamo mettere sotto la lente d'ingrandimento la storia del Partito comunista italiano, di cui dobbiamo capire fino in fondo la portata con un'analisi che ci è necessaria per poter conquistare, oggi, una capacità egemonica che ci consenta un'avanzata sociale elevata quanto quella raggiunta in Italia, dal dopoguerra fino al rapimento Moro, grazie al lavoro di quanti si riconoscevano nel Pci. Che ha avuto una fine oscura, troppo rapida e non sufficientemente analizzata.

CEU eTD Collection III ABSTRACT Despite a vast research about the impact of the Hungarian crisis of 1956 on the legacy of Communism in Italy, the controversial choices of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) have been often considered to be a sort of negative exception in the progressive path of Italian Communism toward modern European socialism. Instead, the main idea of this research is to reconstruct the PCI’s decision-making within the context of the enduring strategic patterns that shaped the political action of the party: can the communist reaction to the impact in Italy of the Hungarian uprising be interpreted as a coherent implication of the communist preexisting and persisting strategy? In order to answer this question, it is necessary to reconstruct how the news coming from Hungary left an imprint on the “permanent interests” of the PCI, and how the communist apparatus reacted to the crisis.

Berlinguer, Ti Vogliamo Ancora Bene
Berlinguer, ti vogliamo ancora bene Lo scorso 25 maggio Enrico Berlinguer avrebbe compiuto novantotto anni. Sono invece passati ben trentasei anni dalla sua morte, avvenuta a Padova l’11 giugno 1984. Da allora, sono cambiati completamente l’Italia e il mondo (non ci sono più Dc, Pci e Psi; è scomparsa la “cortina di ferro” che divideva Est e Ovest). Eppure l’ammirazione per il “compagno Enrico” e la nostalgia per una stagione specifica della politica italiana restano fortissime nelle generazioni che hanno vissuto in prima fila gli anni Settanta e Ottanta. Chissà invece cosa pensano i più giovani di quell’uomo magro, dal sorriso discreto e dallo spiccato accento sardo (era nato a Sassari il 25 maggio 1922) che ogni tanto appare in tv in qualche documentario o si cita quando si vuole fare riferimento alla fase in cui la sinistra italiana era egemone nella società italiana e poteva rivendicare, a ragione nonostante la conventio ad excludendum, una collocazione di governo sulla base del fatto che un italiano su tre votava comunista e alcune regioni erano governate da giunte di sinistra. Eletto segretario nel 1972 scalzando le candidature di Giorgio Napolitano e Pietro Ingrao, grazie alla saggezza politica di Luigi Longo (quest’ultimo, successore di Palmiro Togliatti, non era più in grado di assolvere al ruolo di segretario per i postumi di un ictus), iscritto al partito fin dai primi anni Quaranta, segretario dei giovani comunisti per un lungo periodo e con una discreta esperienza internazionale, Berlinguer e il berlinguerismo hanno caratterizzato la fase dei massimi successi elettorali e politici del Pci.

Between Business Interests and Ideological Marketing the USSR and the Cold War in Fiat Corporate Strategy, 1957–1972
Between Business Interests and Ideological Marketing The USSR and the Cold War in Fiat Corporate Strategy, 1957–1972 ✣ Valentina Fava On 15 August 1966, the Fiat automotive company signed an agreement in Moscow with the Soviet government regarding the construction of the Volga Automobile Factory (VAZ) to manufacture Fiat cars. The plant began oper- ations in September 1970—one year later than originally planned—and was a highly automated facility that was able to produce 660,000 Fiat 124s per annum.1 More than half a century later, the image of Italian-Soviet partnership in building the giant automobile plant still arouses emotions and curiosity, as demonstrated by documentaries and preparations for the ﬁftieth anniversary 1. The model’s body and engine were modiﬁed to be better suited for Soviet roads and climatic condi- tions. The total cost of constructing the plant was estimated at $642 million in February 1966: $247 million (39 percent) was to be spent in Italy, about $55 million (8 percent) was to be spent in the United States, France, Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, and West Germany (but this percentage grew to such an extent that $50 million alone was expected to be spent in the United States), and $340 million (53 percent) was to be spent (it never was) on building plants or equipment in member-states of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. This estimate included neither consultancy fees for the technical designs of the factory and the car nor the transfer of know-how and assistance methods, nor did it budget for purchasing special materials or paying third parties’ commissions for patents or additional know-how.

Anti-Fascism and Democracy in the 1930S
02_EHQ 32/1 articles 20/11/01 10:48 am Page 39 Tom Buchanan Anti-fascism and Democracy in the 1930s In November 1936 Konni Zilliacus wrote to John Strachey, a leading British left-wing intellectual and a prime mover in the recently founded Left Book Club, inviting him to ponder ‘the problem of class-war strategy and tactics in a democracy’. Zilliacus, a press officer with the League of Nations and subse- quently a Labour Party MP, was particularly worried about the failure of the Communist Party and the Comintern to offer a clear justification for their decision to support the Popular Front and collective security. ‘There is no doubt’, Zilliacus wrote, ‘that those who are on the side of unity are woefully short of a convincing come-back when the Right-Wing put up the story about Com- munist support of democracy etc. being merely tactical camou- flage.’1 Zilliacus’s comment raises very clearly the issue that lies at the heart of this article. For it is well known that the rise of fascism in the 1930s appeared to produce a striking affirmation of sup- port for democracy, most notably in the 1936 election victories of the Spanish and French Popular Fronts. Here, and elsewhere, anti-fascism was able to unite broad political coalitions rang- ing from liberals and conservatives to socialists, communists and anarchists. But were these coalitions united more by a fear of fascism than by a love of democracy — were they, in effect, marriages of convenience? Historians have long disagreed on this issue. Some have emphasized the prior loyalty of Communist supporters of the Popular Front to the Stalinist regime in the USSR, and have explained their new-found faith in democracy as, indeed, a mere ‘tactical camouflage’ (a view given retrospec- tive weight by the 1939 Nazi–Soviet Pact).

Historic Compromise’ with the DC, Which Responded with Aldo Moro’S ‘Strategy of Attention’
Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 4, No. 2, 2012, 209-229 The DC and the PCI in the Seventies: A Complex Relationship Supervised by the United States Roberto Fornasier University of Padua Abstract: Relations between the Christian Democrats (DC) and the Communists (PCI) constituted the single most important political issue throughout the period of the Italian ‘first Republic’. A large number of studies have been devoted to the post-1968 years, in particular – years when the Communists, by projecting a new, reformist image of themselves under Enrico Berlinguer’s leadership, tried to reach an ‘historic compromise’ with the DC, which responded with Aldo Moro’s ‘strategy of attention’. What is less well known is the American view during these crucial years, the reaction of the Republican (Nixon and Ford) and Democratic (Carter) Administrations in Washington to the PCI’s overtures to the DC. This article, exploiting Italian, American and British archives, challenges the assumption that, in the late 1970s, the United States, with the change of Administration from Republicans to Democrats, moved from a position of absolute opposition to a benevolent indifference towards Communism in Italy. What emerges from the documents is that the US authorities consistently supported conservative Christian Democrats – like Mariano Rumor and Giulio Andreotti – and that Carter’s election promise to soften US attitudes towards the PCI was not kept. Washington’s official policy remained the one that had been modelled during the Kissinger era Keywords: Italian Communist Party, Christian Democracy; Political History, International History, historic compromise. Introduction Richard Gardner, America’s Ambassador to Italy during the Carter Administration once claimed that Enrico Berlinguer and other PCI leaders had, during his mission, ‘consistently affirmed their fidelity to Marxism- Leninism, praised the achievement of the Soviet Revolution of 1917, and advocated foreign policies favouring Soviet aims and threatening Western interests’ (Gardner, 2006).

Italian Communism in Crisis
ITALIAN COMMUNISM IN CRISIS Stephen Hellman INTRODUCTION The 1980s have not been kind to the Italian Communist Party (PCI). It has avoided the fate of its French and Spanish counterparts, and is in no immediate danger of being relegated to the historical dustbin. It has not succumbed to the sectarian isolation many were predicting at the end of the 1970s, just as it has resisted the temptation to cast off its entire history and carry out an 'Italian Bad Godesberg'. It has increased its critical distance from the statist models of the East, and has also evolved a considerably more open internal structure. Finally, the PC1 still counts 1.5 million members, and, in spite of a severe setback in the 1987 elections, it obtained 26.4% of the vote. But the PC1 has unquestionably been floundering since the end of the seventies. It has suffered three straight setbacks in general elections after never declining in national elections between 1946 and 1976, when it reached 34.4%. Party membership is down 300,000 since peaking in 1976-77, and the drop has accelerated in the 1980s. Politically, the party has not been so isolated since the 1960s-but then it was at least increasing its public support. It abandoned an ill-fated strategy at the beginning of this decade, but it has basically been paralyzed and devoid of any serious project since then. For all these reasons, and in spite of its continuing strength, the PC1 is currently threatened with political marginalization and further decline. The shock generated by an unexpectedly sharp set- back in the most recent elections (1987) was enough to cause an openly contested leadership realignment in the party and intensify the internal debate that has been going on for some time.
