Our sole funding comes from the subscriptions and donations of members and supporters. Anyone wishing to donate can now do so safely using the Paypal buttons below.
ICT publications are not copyrighted and we only ask that those who reproduce them acknowledge the original source (author and website leftcom.org). Purchasing any of the publications listed (see catalogue) can be done in two ways:
- By emailing us at uk@leftcom.org, us@leftcom.org or ca@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details

The CWO also offers subscriptions to Revolutionary Perspectives (3 issues) and Aurora (at least 4 issues):
- UK £15 (€18)
- Europe £20 (€24)
- World £25 (€30, $30)
Take out a supporter’s sub by adding £10 (€12) to each sum. This will give you priority mailings of Aurora and other free pamphlets as they are produced.

The Russian Revolution remains a landmark event in history. For the bourgeois historians, the October Revolution is thought to be a tragedy that set back the achievements of the “democratic” February Revolution, and allowed the Bolsheviks to wreak havoc on their citizens and the world. For the Stalinists, the events of 1917 paved the way for the birth of the USSR, which they point to as a prototypical example of “socialism in one country”. In reality, the February and October Revolutions were both part of the same proletarian revolution.

Ciao Aldo, il centralismo
Ciao Aldo, il centralismo democratico è quello di Lenin e del partito bolscevico (quando ancora non era in via di stalinizzazione), nonché il nostro, ossia, in estrema sintesi: il potere decisionale è di tutta la comunità militante del partito, che si centralizza in organi collegiali esecutivi i quali, a loro volta, con scadenza periodica, devono rispondere alla base che li esprime in occasione dei congressi e delle assemblee generali.
Il centralismo organico è invece quello dei bordighisti, ma, in realtà, di tante altre organizzazioni, come ad esempio Lotta comunista. Il potere decisionale è nelle mani dei vertici del partito. Punto.
Fu uno dei motivi che portò alla scissione del 1952 fra noi e i bordighisti, ed è uno dei temi dibattuti e approfonditi in "Bordiga fuori dal mito" di Onorato Damen.
Nella "Piattaforma del '52" elaborata da Bordiga e rifiutata dai nostri padri politici, si afferma: "Il partito vieta la libertà personale di elaborazione di pretesi nuovi schemi e spiegazioni del mondo sociale contemporaneo, vieta la libertà individuale di analisi, di critica e di prospettiva anche per il più colto e preparato degli aderenti..." Questa libertà è infatti prerogativa solo del "Commissario Unico" (Bordiga stesso) ed eventualmente dei suoi stretti fedelissimi. Ma di nessun altro.
inoltre quasi sempre chi
inoltre quasi sempre chi teorizza il CENTRALISMO ORGANICO approda poi alla c.d. DITTATURA DEL PARTITO al posto e contro la DITTATURA DEL PROLETARIATO
