The Italian Communist Party (PCd'I) was a Marxist-Leninist, later Eurocommunist, party in Italy. It originated in a split from the Italian Socialist Party in 1921, when the pro-Comintern faction split off and formed the PCd'I.

The PCd'I eventually turned to revisionism and Eurocommunism; the party continued to exist in revisionist form until 1991, when the fall of the Warsaw pact resulted in the leadership fully capitulating to liberalism.

History[edit | edit source]

During the Prague Spring, the PCd'I defended Alexander Dubček's revisionist policies and described NATO as a defensive alliance. It later supported Gorbachyov's rejection of class struggle.[1]
