Communist Party of Luxembourg

The Communist Party of Luxembourg, known in Luxembourgish as "Kommunistesch Partei Lëtzebuerg" (KPL), is a political party in Luxembourg that adheres to the principles of Marxism-Leninism. Founded in 1921, the party has a long history of advocating…   for the rights of workers and the establishment of a socialist society. Its values are deeply rooted in the belief that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole, with the ultimate goal of achieving a classless society where wealth and power are distributed equitably.<br /><br />The KPL emphasizes the importance of solidarity among workers, both nationally and internationally, and supports the struggle against capitalism, imperialism, and all forms of oppression. It champions the rights of the working class, advocating for fair wages, better working conditions, and the right to unionize. The party also prioritizes social justice issues, including gender equality, environmental sustainability, and the rights of immigrants and minorities.<br /><br />Throughout its history, the Communist Party of Luxembourg has been committed to peace and disarmament, opposing military interventions and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. It views the European Union with skepticism, criticizing its neoliberal policies and the concentration of power in the hands of a few, while calling for more democratic and transparent institutions that serve the interests of the people.<br /><br />Although the KPL's influence in Luxembourgish politics has waned since its peak in the mid-20th century, it continues to participate in elections and remains active in promoting its vision of a socialist future for Luxembourg and the world. The party operates on the principle that through collective action and the mobilization of the working class, significant social and economic transformations can be achieved, leading to a society that prioritizes human needs over profit.Read more
