The Communist Party of Germany ({{lang-de|Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands}}, abbreviated KPD) is a minor political party in Germany. It is one of several parties which claim the KPD name and/or legacy. It was founded in Berlin in 1990.

History

The KPD, also known as KPD-Ost or KPD (Rote Fahne), was founded in 1990 in the DDR, after the Fall of the Berlin Wall but before the eventual German reunification. It competed unsuccessfully in the 1990 Volkskammer election, the only free multi-party election held in the DDR.

The KPD was exempt from the West German ban on the KPD from 1956, due to a provision in the German reunification treaty which guarantees the continued legality of parties founded in the former DDR. However, this KPD-ban was already circumvented in 1968 with the foundation of a new West German communist party, the German Communist Party (DKP). The KPD and the DKP remain to exist as separate parties and occasionally cooperate politically.

Today the KPD remains a small party with its main strongholds being in the Neue Lander. It has competed in Bundestag, Landtag and local elections, but so far has only managed to gain one mandate in the city of Zeitz between 2004 and 2014. The party is preparing to compete in the 2019 state election in Thuringia.[1]

In 2002 the KPD founded its youth wing, the Kommunistischer Jugendverband Deutschland[2].

Ideology

The party upholds a strict anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist line, and states that it "consistently fights revisionism, opportunism and its main form, anti-Stalinism."[3] It recognizes the DDR, the Soviet Union, especially during the leadership of Stalin, and other former Soviet satellite states as examples of real existing socialism. It also holds a positive view on the DPRK, its leadership, both Kim Jong-il and his successor Kim Jong-un, and the leading ideologies of the nation, being Juche and Songun.

Famous members

Despite being a small party, it managed to attract a number of prominent members, mostly those from the former leadership of the Socialist Unity Party (SED). Both Erich Honecker and his wife Margot were members of the KPD after being expelled from the reformed SED in 1990, Margot Honecker even becoming an honorary member.[4][5]

Irma Thälmann, the daughter of Ernst Thälmann, became a member of the KPD after leaving the Linkspartei.PDS, due to the re-evaluation of her fathers legacy by the party[6]. She was a candidate for the KPD at the 1994 Bundestag election for the district of Berlin-Lichtenberg, gaining 266 votes (0,17%).
