'Left Communism' redirects here, this page is primarily about Italian Left Communism/Bordigism. For other ideologies, including the
Dutch/German variant, see Left Communism (Disambiguation)
Left Communism, also called Italian Left Communism, Ultra Left, International Left, or simply Bordigism, is an economically far-left, Marxist ideology. It is a form of Communism based off of the ideas and writings of Amadeo Bordiga and the International Communist Party. It is recognized to be the furthest Left Unity ideology on the compass. It opposes democracy, anti-fascism and the concept of a "Popular Front". It is a 
Leninist ideology that opposes 
Marxism-Leninism, believing it to be a bourgeois current. It regards Stalin as bourgeois opportunist, and regards other Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries, such as 
Fidel Castro, 
Che Guevara, 
Ho Chi Minh and 
Mao Zedong as bourgeois, not proletarian, revolutionaries. Bordiga and the Italian left communists also considered the Soviet Union to be a bourgeois, capitalist state.
This ideology refers specifically to the Italian strain of Left Communism, although other left communist ideologies also exist, namely, 
Dutch-German leftcoms (Council Communists) and Russian leftcoms. These ideologies do have some similarities, the most significant being anti-trade unionism, anti-nationalism/internationalism, and anti-parliamentarism. As well as the belief that true socialism is stateless, classless, and can only be achieved when the capitalist mode of commodity production is completely abolished. Every "socialist" who does not is merely an opportunist capitalist.
He loves to sit in an armchair all day reading Marx, Bordiga, Pannekoek, Damen, Cammette, Dauvé, and Chirik among others, while complaining about other leftists. It is often forgotten that Italian left communists do consider themselves Leninists, being described as "more Leninist than Lenin". Lenin's work "Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder" criticised left communists in Britain, Germany and Russia who did not consider themselves Leninist.
Stylistic Notes
Left Communism is generally portrayed as sitting in an armchair, reading, theory, and nothing else. He often defends this behavior with "Theory is praxis." He is often depicted as being hyper critical and cynical to such a degree that no ideology will associate with him apart from 
Marxism.
How to Draw
Drawing Left Communism takes a few steps:
- Draw a ball
- Fill it with red
- Draw 2 intertwined yellow wheat spikes
- Draw a black hammer and sickle
- Draw the eyes and you're done!

Trotskyism - Early work was incredible loved it. But you're just impotent student movement the with zero proletarian support.
Authoritarianism - You exist. But you aren't always a bad thing.
National Socialism - If Hitler can make yield the odious powers of England and America, while making thus precarious the capitalist world balance, long live the butcher Hitler who works in spite of himself to create the conditions of the proletarian world revolution …
Bourgeoisie (Read Marx!)
Marxism–Leninism - Fake Marxist. Fake Leninist. Stop pretending that you read theory when you actually read fake news sources from "anti-imperialist" and "socialist" countries to back up your claims. Read the first line of Capital.
Maoism - You're okay for a Marxist-Leninist, but you're still a bourgeois movement that butchers workers.
Dengism - You are Marxism-Leninism modernized.
Anarcho-Communism - Peak petit-bourgeois.
Stalinism - Gravedigger of the revolution! Lenin shouldn't have trusted you!
Social Democracy - The welfare economy is a failure! You also killed Luxemburg and Liebknecht!

National Bolshevism - The KAPD was right in expelling Laufenberg and Wolffheim.
Acid Communism - If “Cobain's death confirmed the defeat and incorporation of rock's utopian and promethean ambitions”, Fisher's suicide reaffirms the real powerlessness of any perspective of criticism of capitalism that is not based on solid pillars such as criticism of political economy, the materialist conception of history, the experiences of past class struggles and the communist revolutionary programme that derives from them.”[2]
