The Internationalist Communist Tendency (ICT), previously known as the International Bureau for the Revolutionary Party (IBRP), is an international organisation of the Communist Left.
The IBRP was formed in 1983 as a joint initiative of the Communist Workers’ Organisation (CWO) in Britain and the Internationalist Communist Party (PCInt) in Italy after a series of international conferences organised by the latter. In 2009, the IBRP changed its name to the ICT.[1][2][3][4]
History
[edit]The Italian Communist Left
[edit]The ICT traces its history back to the Left fractions inside the Italian Socialist Party (PSI), which began to appear in 1910. In 1919, the Left united around Amadeo Bordiga and in 1921 it played a central role in the foundation of the Communist Party of Italy (PCd’I). The Left held a majority in the PCd’I until 1923. In 1925, Onorato Damen, along with Luigi Repossi and Bruno Fortichiari, formed the "Intesa" committee with the aim of defending the work of the Left in the party. Ultimately however, under the leadership of Palmiro Togliatti, the Left was gradually expelled. Meanwhile, under the fascist regime, many of its militants ended up in prison or exiled. In 1927, the Left regrouped abroad as a Fraction, and in 1928, in Pantin, it officially formed the Left Fraction of the PCd’I (from 1935 the "Italian Fraction of the Communist Left"). The outbreak of World War II disrupted the work of the Fraction. However, in 1943 militants of the Left then resident in Italy, the likes of Damen and Bruno Maffi, and those returning from abroad, regrouped once again and formed the PCInt.[1][5][6][7]
The Internationalist Communist Party
[edit]The First Congress of the PCInt was held in 1948. In the following years two different tendencies within the PCInt made themselves known, one around Damen and another around Bordiga. In 1952, a split took place. The political ancestors of the ICT sided with the tendency represented by Damen, which kept the name PCInt. Between 1977 and 1981 the PCInt initiated the International Conferences of the Communist Left, which intended to delimitate what was then called the "proletarian political camp".[1][8][9][10][11]
The International Conferences of the Communist Left
[edit]During the Third Conference, the CWO and the PCInt agreed upon seven points, setting the groundwork for the creation of the IBRP.[12]
The IBRP becomes the ICT
[edit]In 2009, in response to the expansion of the IBRP beyond the PCInt and the CWO, the decision was made to adopt the name "Internationalist Communist Tendency" (ICT). The ICT now unites organisations in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the UK and the USA, as well as sympathisers across the world.[13]
Political positions and intervention
[edit]The ICT opposes all nationalism, parliamentarism and trade unionism. Instead, it promotes internationalism, the rule of workers' councils, and the self-organisation of the class struggle.[14][12]
Over the years, many groups have polemicised with the ICT and its affiliates, including the likes of the International Communist Current,[15] the International Communist Party,[16] the Socialist Party of Great Britain,[17] or the Alliance for Workers' Liberty.[18]
Affiliates
[edit]As of 2024, the ICT lists the following organisations as its affiliates.[19]

Nel 1977 il partito organizzò a Milano una "Conferenza dei Gruppi della Sinistra Comunista Internazionale", successivamente seguita da altre due, da cui scaturì il "Bureau Internazionale per il Partito Rivoluzionario" (BIPR), che dal 2010 si chiamerà Tendenza Comunista Internazionalista (ICT), di cui il PCInt costituisce la sezione principale.

Le Parti communiste internationaliste, qui édite le journal Battaglia communista, poursuit sa politique d'ouverture. Il noue le dialogue avec la revue antiléniniste Socialisme ou Barbarie. Mais il demeure farouchement léniniste. En 1984, il impulse avec la Communist Workers Organization de Grande - Bretagne un Bureau international pour le parti révolutionnaire. En 2009, cette structure se transforme en une Tendance communiste internationaliste, présente dans une dizaine de pays.
