The American Landing · dossier
Filed as person, standing in five authored connections inside The American Landing.
Documented 1922-24 role
Dominant political leader of the PCd'I founding majority; co-author of the Rome Theses; spokesman for the Italian Left; refused leadership participation under a line he opposed; retained broad delegate support at the May 1924 Como conference.
Analytic caution
Do not label Bordiga formal party secretary without a title-specific record. Leadership, Executive membership, and formal secretary are separate.

Opening Journey research profile
Role: Communist faction and party leader
Founder of the Communist Abstentionist Fraction, organizer of the national communist faction, dominant PCd'I leader at foundation, first-executive member, Rome Theses co-author, and critic of council localism, political united-front tactics, and later bolshevization.
Geography
Naples-area political base; Milan and Imola faction meetings in 1920; Livorno in January 1921; Rome congress in March 1922; Moscow Comintern meetings; Lyon congress in January 1926.
Analytic caution
The strongest inspected scholarly account says his primacy was not formalized through a special office. Do not label him party secretary without a title-specific source.
