Prison radicalized Bordiga against Comintern policy while Tasca urged submission

Evidence

Bordiga, in prison, represented an increasingly coherent position at one end of the spectrum: the Comintern policy for Italy would lead to the liquidation of the P.C.I.; the Comintern itself was showing signs of degeneration; the Italian party was a left vanguard struggling against this degeneration. At the other extreme, Tasca was urging full acceptance of the Comintern line. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 140
