Declaration of Principle
The editorial board of Teoria &
Prassi (Theory and Praxy) review
and the Circolo Lenin (Lenin Group) of
The main task of Piattaforma Comunista is the theoretical and
political struggle for the formation (making), in our country, of a strong
communist party, as a working class, independent, revolutionary, political
party. A party which must be the fighting, organized and conscious vanguard
working class sector, able to gain such an acknowledgement thanks to the
struggle and daily work, the development of all the theoretical and practical
aspects, the effective capacity of steering and guiding the masses into victory in the
proletarian revolution and the construction of socialism, in the conditions of
proletariat dictatorship, up to the classless society, communism.
To this end, Piattaforma Comunista takes as its aim to stimulate
the unification of all true communists and vanguard workers, organizations,
groups, (circles), who are consistently on the revolutionary positions of marxism-leninism, in order to overcome fragmentation and
sectionalism, in the active conditions for the reconstruction of a strong
communist party.
In order to fulfil these tasks and achieve such
aims, Piattaforma
Comunista will firmly base itself on the working
class, the union of working class movement with the communist movement, the
organization of advanced workers, young revolutionaries, intellectuals who are
resolute in breaking with bourgeoisie and uniting to proletariat.
Piattaforma Comunista
stands in
continuity with the best struggling, ideological, political traditions of the
communist and working class movement in our country: from Antonio Labriola to Antonio Gramsci, from the foundation of P.C.d’I. (Communist
Party of Italy) in Livorno in 1921 (which has been the working class
revolutionary vanguard party) to the victorious Resistance against nazi-fascism, from the battle against Togliatti’s
revisionism to the right decision to build P.C.d’I.
(m-l) in 1966, up to the half-a-century struggle carried out by marxist-leninists to raise the banner of revolution,
socialism and the reconstruction of the party against the spreading of
revisionism and opportunism.
Piattaforma Comunista
acknowledges and
defends the practical experience, concepts and lines thanks to which the
international working class and communist movement has conquered great
victories, from Marx’s International to Paris’s Commune, from the period of
formation of the communist movement in the II International to the October
Socialist Revolution, from the III Communist International to the building of
socialism in U.S.S.R., from the victory against nazi-fascism
to the building of the socialist field, from Cominform
to the struggle against modern revisionism (which was officially adopted at the
XX Congress of P.C.U.S. in 1956) up to the present International Communist
Movement and its most advanced and consistent expression, the International
Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations (I.C.M.L.P.O.).
Piattaforma Comunista defends and continues these
glorious traditions and experiences of struggle, going on with the struggle
against imperialism and reaction, religious obscurantism, revisionism,
opportunism,, reformism, economism,
spontaneous political activism, adventurism, militarism and all the other
deviations from marxism-leninism.
Piattaforma Comunista raises the banner of proletarian
internationalism, struggling above all against its “own” imperialism, adopts
“Quito Declaration” as
an ideological-political basis for the international communist movement,
acknowledges the line and activity of
I.C.M.L.P.O. and intends to develop brotherly relations with communist
parties and organizations all over the world.
Piattaforma Comunista
takes as a guide
for its own action the marxist-leninist principles
and values which must be applied to the practical situation and acknowledges
the historical and dialectic materialism conception of the world, as it has
been defined and developed by Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, for the complete
unity in the ideological field and the vanguard theory steady progress.
On the basis of the Plan of general programme,
the Programme of action and its work in the various fronts of class struggle, Piattaforma Comunista will
help in clarifying, developing and making always more concrete the ideological,
political, programmatic and organizational prerequisites
of the future communist party, consistently with
the ideological and political line, the strategic indications, the analyses and
positions stated in issues 7 to 18 of Teoria & Prassi, in the pamphlets and other documents adopted in
the formation meeting.
The organizational guide principle of Piattaforma Comunista is
democratic centralism, included in its set of rules. It is an active group of militants, able to
strictly tie theory to social practice, to develop an adequate communist
political initiative, proposals of struggle and organization, among the masses
and their structures, taking active part in the fight between social classes in
order to make the revolutionary forces indispensable to the attainment of the
strategic aims: achievement of political power by the proletariat and its
allies, for the construction of socialist society.
Piattaforma comunista considers it as fundamental the
preparation and the continuous theoretical and political improvement of its own
militants. Piattaforma Comunista’
official organs are the theoretical review Teoria & Prassi, the political journal Scintilla (Spark) and its web site (at
present at this address: www.geocities.com/scintilla_mail).
Piattaforma Comunista
asks communists and
the proletariat most advanced and fighting part
to join Piattaforma Comunista;
it addresses the true communists who still support the social democratic and
opportunist parties of bourgeois left so
that they take note of reality and act consequently, breaking neatly and
definitively with these parties and making propaganda for this breaking among
their rank-and-file members, in order to lead
together with the marxist-leninists the
struggle for the reconstruction of the communist party and for proletarian
socialism.
