[GM111] Party Meeting in Turin

All of us must thank the Turin comrades for organising the meeting so well, for despite all the difficulties involved in welcoming, feeding and finding accommodation for everyone, and with people arriving at all hours of the day and night, it was simply perfect. The venue for the sittings was really comfortable and just what we needed to get on with our work.

It is at these meetings that our organization, still small at the moment, can finds its maximum expression. It is here that the various working groups present the results of their studies, their reflections and conclusions, and where the party as a whole assimilates and integrates their work. Convinced as we are that the road to communism is already marked out, and that it is simply a matter of remaining on it, the purpose of our meetings is not to evaluate or make decisions about the various contributions, but to cross-check and synthesise them.

As usual, we present here a highly abbreviated summary of the various reports, the full versions of which will be published in our review, Comunismo:

The Course of Capitalism – Historical background to Syria – The Military Question – Labor movement in the USA – The Difficult Introduction of Communism into the USA – Trade Union Activity – Marxist eonomy – Democracy and Labour Movement in Italy.
