Bordigism is an informal term to refer to a strain of Marxism based on the positions of the Italian Marxist Amadeo Bordiga.
Bordiga
Amadeo Bordiga (13 June 1889 – 23 July 1970) was an Italian Marxist, a contributor to communist theory, the founder of the Communist Party of Italy, a leader of the Communist International and, after World War II, a leading figure of the International Communist Party.
Vanguard party
Invariant programme
Bordigists believe that the communist programme is invariant and can be traced back to the Communist Manifesto. The accuracy of this programme is established according to Bordigists, and it merely requires application to current circumstances.[clarification needed] They believe that using the invariance of the programme will prevent degeneration into opportunism and reformism.
Organic centralism
Organic centralism is a principle derived from opposition to democratism. The correctness of decisions is not derived from majority decisions but consistency to the 'scientific' programme of Marxism (see above). In an organic centralist party, tasks are divided and distributed to persons and groups by a central committee according to the abilities of those people. The best tactics and strategies are developed in accordance with the invariant programme, as opposed to majority decisions.
Communism
Bordiga believed that the communist party would transform into a body of central administration in communism. Decisions would be made according to the scientific method and not majority opinion. Bordigists tend to ignore this aspect of Bordiga's writings.[instances needed]
