The Italian Communist Party (PCI) originally Comunist party of Italy (PCd'I) was a Marxist-Leninist, later Eurocommunist, party in Italy. It originated in a split from the Italian Socialist Party (psi) in 1921, when the pro-Comintern faction split off and formed the PCd'I.
The PCd'I eventually turned to revisionism and Eurocommunism; the party continued to exist in revisionist form until 1991, when the fall of the Warsaw pact resulted in the leadership fully capitulating to liberalism.
History
During the Prague Spring, the PCd'I defended Alexander Dubček's revisionist policies and described NATO as a defensive alliance. It later supported Mikhail Gorbachev's rejection of class struggle.[1]
