In an article he wrote in 1960 he condemned the Soviet Union both for the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact AND for siding with the allies to defeat the nazis.

In the second war of German revanchism, Russia – now deviated from revolutionary Marxism – at first made a pact with Hitler for a moment, using as a pretense the Leninist thesis that France and England (later America) were fighting for exquisite imperialist motives: those of 1914.

That was the first disgrace, but the second stage was even worse. Reaching out to the French, the English, and the Americans, the Russians threw themselves once again into the most criminal democratic crusadism.

Oh oh and here's the best (worst) bit.

Almost half a century has been enough to show that the Russian leadership of the struggle for communism has ended in failure. [Our] hopes can only be placed in a mission of the great Germanic proletariat

Well there's a reason why Gramsci died in prison while Bordiga didn't.

Gramsci supported the Arditi del popolo and other early anti fascists while bordiga spent the early 20s threatening to revoke membership of the communist party of those who engaged in or supported radical anti fascist action.

Bordiga fucking suuuuuucked.
