Program
The PCI, being a territorial section of the Comintern, adopted the same program, the same conception of the party and the same tactics adopted by the II Congress in Moscow of 1920. The official program, drawn up in 10 points, began with the intrinsically catastrophic nature of the Capitalist System and terminated with the extinction of the State. It follows in a synthetic way the model outlined by Lenin for the Russian party.
For a while, this identity resisted, but the fast progress of the reaction in Europe produced a change of tactics in a democratic direction within the Russian party and consequently within the Comintern. This happened in particular regarding the possibility, previously opposed, of an alliance with the social democratic and bourgeois parties. This provoked a tension in the party between the majority (Left) and the minority currents (in 1924: 16% the Right and 11% the Center) supported by the Comintern. The proposals of the left were no longer accepted and the conflict became irremediable.
