At a glance

PL is an international Marxist-Leninist party, “active in 27 countries”[1], which in the “fall of 1961” “convened a small collective that would soon leave the CPUSA”[2]. “Our [PL’s] policies are based squarely on Marxism-Leninism.”[3] According to PL, Trotskyism is “the vanguard of the counter-revolutionary bourgeoisie”[4], “On the right stand the Khrushchevs, the Brezhnevs and the Gorbachevs”[5], Gonzalo-type Maoism “endlessly quot[es] Mao’s words, while consistently opposing their meaning”[6], and the GPCR Left’s “failure to break with Maoism, ideologically and organizationally, led to their defeat”[7] while the GPCR has been “the period of China’s history most attacked and slandered by the capitalists who now rule China.”[8] PL was referring to the “restoration of Russian capitalism”[9] by 1966 and characterizes the GPCR as “the first revolution in history to attempt to take power back from the fake ‘communists,’ known as revisionists”[10] while “[t]he defeat of the GPCR and the reversal of the Chinese revolution signaled the end of the old communist movement. These setbacks plunged the international working class into the Dark Night”.[11]

PLP Glossary (to be updated)
