PCI - Il Partito Comunista

    Does anyone know more about them than what they publish themselves?
    The more I read their literature and learn about them, the stranger they seem to me. If I remember correctly, they use the term "totalitarianism" favorably, which I've never heard anyone else do. Then, they have the text that's been recently posted by user Remus Bleys about "Communist Mysticism" that talks about "the complete being that is god". Also, they're the ones who came up with the "Red Unions" thing, right?

    My questions are, does "Il Partito" stand out among the Bordigist groups in terms of politics and use of words or is it a general tendency among them all?
    If "Il Partito" is indeed a "different" group somehow, what would be the particular circumstances that made them this way as opposed to other Bordigist groups after the splits?

    Also, what do you all think about this group and their texts?

    Bordiga was quite favorable of the word totalitarian and use it a lot too.
    And yeah they came up with the "red union" concept, but Bordiga too was shown to be rather uncertain about his view on them.
    I like the fact that they're website is easy to manage and that they have their texts neatly arranged.

    They are the Temptation, one could say.
