Both PSI and PCI condemned anti-fascist Arditi for differing reasons.

Evidence

The PSI (who signed a “concilation pact” with the fa cists at this time) condemned the organisation; they advocated a policy of non-resistance. The PCI also condemned the organisation, for sectarian reasons, preferring to concentrate on its own, purely communist, defence squads. Gramsci had written and published articles welcoming the organisation before the official condemnation, and even afterwards did so obliquely, by critici ing the PSI’s attitude. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 2285
