The Italian Communist Party (PCI) originally Comunist party of Italy (PCd'I) was a Marxist-Leninist, later Eurocommunist, party in Italy. It originated in a split from the Italian Socialist Party (psi) 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 Mikhail Gorbachev's rejection of class struggle.[1]
