Description[?]:
| Seen the dangerous drift of the Istalian politic, releved the further attack moved by bourgeois forces to the world of work, the communists have decided to run for the presence in the democratic parliament. This isn't a move to gain something above the shoulders of the people, but a necessary choiche in this dangerous time, where all the workers, every man and woman of Istalia, are under attack from the bourgeois and the finance. Without renouncing to its revolutionary program, the PCdI is now proposing a programmatic bill to outline the big difference between the Party of the oppressed and the parties of the exploiters. The communists are here to free Istalia from the hands of capitalism and this is just our first act. - Antonio Masci, PCdI secretary |
