Ruptura Colective (Portuguese: Coletivo Ruptura), informally Ruptura, is a communist organization in Portugal. It has been active since September 2023 in Porto and Lisbon. Its stated goal is "the recovery of the Communist Program and the self-emancipation of the proletariat".[1]

History

edit

It was formed in September of 2023 in Porto[2] but has expanded to Lisbon,[3][4][5] as well as other cities in Portugal. It has taken part in a number of movements, such as the housing rights movement,[6] the Palestinian solidarity movement,[7][8] the queer movement,[9] while at the same time organizing public communist reading clubs in major cities,[10][11] and creating an online space for open debate in the Portuguese communist milieu.[12] It has attracted a number of communists discontent with the Portuguese Communist Party and its youth wing.[13]

Positions

edit
 
The group symbol is three black pillars being struck and destroyed by a red arrow: the pillars represent Private Property, Family and State. The red arrow represents the communist movement.

Ruptura presents itself[14] a communist collective that formed as a rejection of the status of communist movement in Portugal and its organizational and political bankruptcy.

Its points of unity are:

  1. Ruthless critique of all that exists in order to recover the Communist Program;
  2. Defense of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat;
  3. Critical position regarding every past, present and future revolutionary projects;
  4. Defense of the international character of the communist revolution;
  5. Defense of communism as the emancipation of the human species through the self-abolition of the proletariat destroying private property, the family and the state;
  6. Affirming the centrality of the sexual and gender abolition to the communist program;
  7. Revolutionary defeatism in the face of inter-imperialist conflicts inherent to this stage - the superior stage of capitalism;
  8. Recognition of the imperialist character of Portuguese capitalism;
  9. Recognition of the relation between capitalism and the climate crisis, and the necessity of the revolutionary suppression of the first to solve the second;
  10. Defense of the political independence of the proletariat against the interests of labor aristocracy, the petty bourgeoisie and remaining middle classes;
  11. Right to critique and debate, within the established principles, as well as to public polemic;

It takes inspiration from communists such Marx, Engels and Lenin, as well as other theorists such as Francisco Martins Rodrigues.
