The party Centre hostility toward the reformist Right matched its hostility to the Left

Evidence

The Lyons Congress itself lasted for a week, and an extremely hard-hitting discussion ranged over the entire experience of the five years of the party’s existence. Gramsci’s main report lasted four hours, Bordiga’s reply lasted seven! … Yet significantly enough, when the disagreements with Tasca also came up in the discussion of trade-union strategy and the factory committees (and it must be remembered that the Right had not existed as a tendency since the Fifth World Congress, but had been effectively absorbed by the new leadership), the response of the Centre—Gramsci and Scoccimarro in particular—revealed a hostility as great as that shown towards the Left. Gramsci spoke of “a rightist conception, connected to the desire not to clash too seriously with the reformist trade-union bureaucracy which strenuously opposes any organisation of the masses”. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 210
