    yes, I am jumping to his defence because I don't think bordiga was an idiot and that quote was supposedly written down by an officer of mussolini's secret police. And bordiga definitely wasn't a mussolini supporter, since he'd spent years in italian prisons based on trumped-up charges

      Of course all his statements recorded both in newspapers and the Italian state archive are all lies meant to undermine a communist movement that Bordiga at this point is deliberately not involved in

      This is all more likely than Bordiga being afflicted with brain worms that were incredibly common for a certain type of communist in this period.
