Alfio,
       How long before the founding of the Italian Communist Party were
Italian communists active in Italy? Where did they gather -- an outsider
might assume they got together in the various socialist groups?
       I am told the Libertarian Party in this country was founded in the
late 60 or early 70s but I can assure you libertarians were getting together
long before that.
       I am saying there is usually a period of fermentation preceding a
formal organization. How long was yours given that socialism goes back a
good 120 years before 1921 and communism goes back at least 70 years before
that date.
       Second, I understood you to say the communist kicked Mussolini out.
Am I wrong? How did they kick him out before they came into existence?
