The Communist Party of Fiume ((イタリア語:Partito Comunista di Fiume – Sezione della III.a Internazionale)) was instituted on November 1921, after the proclamation of the Free State of Fiume created by the Treaty of Rapallo. The Communist Party of Fiume was the smallest Communist Party in the world at the time. It was founded following the principles of the Third International, according to which each sovereign State had to have its own Communist Party organization. == Origins == After 1918 the Socialist Party of Fiume, under the lead of Samuel Maylender became the Partito Socialista Internazionale di Fiume. In 1919, a local Communist Party, was founded independently (and almost single-handedly) by Albino Stalzer in 1919, by mobilising the local dockers.〔"Nel 1919 in un separè del Caffè grande, in piazza Umberto (ex Andrassy) Albino Stalzer e il tipografo Simeone Schneider fondavano il Partito Comunista di Fiume. La consistenza numerica del primo Partito Comunista di Fiume non si poté mai conoscere. Pare però, che fosse solo una cellula". Ballarini Amleto, “Albino Stalzer: il “compagno” dimenticato. Le controverse origini del partito comunista fiumano”, ''Fiume. Rivista di studi fiumani'', Anno XIV N.28 (Prima Nuova Serie) II Semestre 1994 p. 15.〕 Stalzer and Schneider founded also a Cooperativa dei Lavoratori del Porto, whose influence proved to be much greater that that of the Communist Party itself. In 1920 both had a difficult existence during the occupation of Fiume led by the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio. Albino Stalzer however proved instrumental in providing working class support to the autonomists of Riccardo Zanella. After the autonomist victory at the elections for the Constituent Assembly on 24 April 1921 the local Fascio staged a ''coup d'état''. In opposition, the Camera del Lavoro (controlled by the Socialists) proclaimed a general strike, but when its leaders Antonio Zamparo and G. Holly were arrested by dictator Riccardo Gigante a cessation of the strike was proclaimed. Thanks to the Cooperativa dei Lavoratori del Porto the strike continued ''motu proprio'', forcing the “Exceptional Government” of “Dictator” Gigante to resign and allow the entry of the Alpine troops in Fiume, as requested by the Italian plenipotentiary Carlo Caccia Dominioni. The ''Cooperativa dei Lavoratori del Porto'' of Stalzer proved to be the main organised force of the opposition to the “dictator Gigante”, and this was the single most important action done by the leftist organisations in the Free State of Fiume. Moreover, it had clear autonomist underpinnings: what was contested was not only the fascist organisation of the putsch, but its Italian annexationist character. The normalisation of the situation that followed to the inauguration of the Zanella government in October 1921 enabled the holding of a Fiume Socialist Congress in November, where (as happened in Italy) a Communist Party was formed. The Party originated from a split within the Socialist Party in Fiume, following on from the secession of the Italian Communists from the Socialists in Livorno on 13 November 1921. On 11 November 1921, the Socialist Party of Fiume joined officially the Communist International.〔The founding report was published in the ''Lavoratore'' from Trieste, on November the 13th 1921〕 The “old Socialist Party of Fiume” had to discuss the Twenty-one Conditions of Moscow, which had not been discussed at the previous congress since at that time (22 August 1921), in Fiume reigned a “regime of terror”, when the party's “best comrades” were expelled and persecuted. At the Socialist meeting old members were reintegrated into the party. Among them was Árpád Simon, a Hungarian Jew who escaped to Fiume after the failure of the Hungarian Soviet Republic of Béla Kun and was proclaimed Secretary of the Communist Party of Fiume. The Party accepted the leadership of Lenin and proclaimed him honorary president of the party.〔In Mihael Sobolevski, Luciano Giuricin, ''Il Partito Comunista di Fiume, (1921–1924): Documenti-Građa'', Centro di ricerche storiche Rovigno, Fiume: Centar za historiju radničkog pokreta i NOR-a Istre, 1982, p. 20-21.〕 The meeting illustrated the division between two factions: the Communists and the Unitarians. The unitarians adopted Lenin's "Twenty-one Conditions" but stated its will to preserve the old name of "Socialist Party", and omitted the intention to eliminate the reformers and the centrists.〔The document is in DARi-fondo questura fiumana Q A/8, dossier Stanflin Pietro, now In Mihael Sobolevski, Luciano Giuricin, ''Il Partito Comunista di Fiume, (1921–1924): Documenti-Građa'', Centro di ricerche storiche Rovigno, Fiume: Centar za historiju radničkog pokreta i NOR-a Istre, 1982, pp. 30–32.〕 After the elections where the communist faction prevailed, a “mozione della frazione comunista” was passed: it implied adhesion to the Third Communist International, the adoption of the new name of "Partito Comunista di Fiume, (sezione della III internazionale Comunista)", the adoption of organization and tactics from the second Congress of the Communist International, subordination to the international direction centres, and the adhesion of local labour organisations to the Red International of Labour Unions. The party declared its will to participate in the elections but only whilst keeping its “revolutionary purpose" of overthrowing “bourgeois democracy” well in mind.〔Mihael Sobolevski, Luciano Giuricin, ''Il Partito Comunista di Fiume, (1921–1924): Documenti-Građa'', Centro di ricerche storiche Rovigno, Fiume: Centar za historiju radničkog pokreta i NOR-a Istre, 1982, p. 24.〕 Simon declared that the Socialist Party ceased to exist and in its place the Communist Party of the Free State of Fiume (Partito Comunista dello Stato libero di Fiume) was constituted. The unitarian socialists were put on a defensive: although they accepted the 21 points and promised not to infringe the unity of the United Proletarian Front, given the “incommensurable difficulties” of organizing a proletarian party in a bilingual environment, the name Socialist Party had to be retained. The party issued several articles on the ''Lavoratore'' from Trieste and ''Lo Stato operaio'' from Milan, not a single one being published in the Yugoslav communist press, since the organization turned to Italy for its inspiration and guidelines. On 28 November the Executive Committee of the Partito Comunista d’Italia sent a salutory letter to the Partito Comunista di Fiume. Again, the relationship is always with the PCI, the Yugoslav party is never mentioned. The funeral of Cesare Seassaro, was the only mass meeting ever organised by the Communist Party of the Free State of Fiume, where several speakers participated. The Young Communist International was represented at the meeting by a speaker – the Italian delegate Secondino Tranquilli, later known as Ignazio Silone. Notably, the Communist Party of Fiume had direct official relationships with the Partito Comunista d’Italia, while the Yugoslav Communist party is never mentioned. The contacts with the Hungarian Communists were of an informal nature, but definitely important, and continued well into the 1920s. The main party cadres came from Hungary after the end of the revolution. Ella (Gabriella) Seidenfeld was the liaison of the Partito comunista di Fiume with the Communist Party of Italy and later became long-time companion of author Ignazio Silone.〔When on mission to Fiume on 14 November, Tranquilli met Gabriella Seidenfeld, a young Fiuman of Hungarian-Jewish origins who then became his partner. Thanks to Gabriella Seidenfeld and her sisters, Silone entered in contact with the Fiuman communist organisation that boosted many international contacts and was close to Italian subversive groups as well. In Sara Galli, ''Le tre sorelle Seidenfeld. Donne nell’emigrazione politica antifascista'', Firenze, Giunti, 2005.〕 In a letter sent by the Communist Party of Italy to the Federazione gioventù comunista di Fiume it is transparent that the Partito comunista di Fiume is considered by the Communist Party of Italy as a ''trait d'union'' with the Yugoslavs.〔The original is at the ''Istituto Gramsci''. Voi preparerete quella unità spirituale fra i lavoratori giovani italiani e jugoslavi che deve rinsaldare le forze proletarie di fiume le quali formano un ponte di passaggio per il giorno in cui i lavoratori italiani potranno finalmente stendere la mano ai compagni slavi, nella vera redenzione auspicata dai due proletariati oggi schiavi delle politiche imperialistiche di Belgrado e di Roma. Now in Mihael Sobolevski, Luciano Giuricin, ''Il Partito Comunista di Fiume, (1921–1924): Documenti-Građa'', Centro di ricerche storiche Rovigno, Fiume: Centar za historiju radničkog pokreta i NOR-a Istre, 1982, p.102.〕 Nevertheless, as for the Fascists, for the Communist Party of the Free State of Fiume the biggest enemy was Albino Stalzer.〔Albino Stalzer, on the occasion, launched an anathema against Cesare Seassaro: “andato a cercare dei comunisti dove non c’erano che degli opportunisti e banderuole al vento pur sapendo che fino al 1919 esisteva a Fiume un partito comunista operante per la rivoluzione e per la III Internazionale”. On 23 November comrade Stalzer was expelled from the party. The text of the ''communiqué'' was titled ''Diffida al compagno Albino Stalzer'' portrayed him as a “betrayer of the worst sort”.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Communist Party of Fiume」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
