The Front of Communist Youth (Italian: Fronte della Gioventù Comunista, FGC) is a Marxist–Leninist youth organization founded in 2012. It defines itself as "a revolutionary organization of young workers, students, and workless youth that struggles against capitalism, to build a socialist society". The FGC consisted of around 1,500 members as of 2020 and participates in student elections and political actions across Italy.
The FGC assumes a revolutionary program and bases its ideology on Marxism–Leninism. It aims to abolish capitalism and to transform Italy into a socialist state. It draws inspiration from real socialism, particularly the Soviet Union before Khrushchev. The FGC also claims the necessity for Italy of a unilateral exit from EU and NATO.
The FGC is a stable member of the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) and of the Meeting of European Communist Youth Organisations (MECYO).
