Here’s a rare thing. Popular demand for a video on this site. This is one of the most coherent accounts in English of Sinistra Critica’s recent experiences in Italy. Angelo Cardone delivered this talk at the Socialist Resistance dayschool on broad parties. It will in some form end up in the next issue of the magazine too.

Sinistra Critica’s experience in and out of Rifondazione Comunista is one of the most interesting cases of a Marxist current operating in a broad party. What does not emerge in this presentation, but was raised in the subsequent workshop, is that there was a significant debate among Sinistra Critica’s supporters around the timing of their decision to establish a new organisation. Another factor which Angelo mentioned in the workshop was the political narrowing and the exclusion of opponents of the leadership.

    I’d like to thank everyone who has been taking part in the discussions over the last week or so. With the occasional minor lapse the tone has been comradely and people have been engaging with the arguments rather than name calling.

    It took a while but we got there!

    Yes Liam. Its a pity the workshop discussion couldn’t have been recorded as some of the things Angelo was saying about the way PRC operates, the size and nature of its activist base etc. are very interesting and have a very clear bearing on the top-split or not to-split question.
    It is good Angelo is still around and contributing to this Blog.
