The question of the current character of Chinese society and the direction in which it is developing is the subject of controversial debate within the communist movement. Within our party, we have taken a clear and unified position on this question from the very beginning: Monopoly capitalist conditions prevail in China and China is embedded in a global imperialist system. This position is questioned and disputed by parts of the communist movement in Germany, but the discussions on this were often not well-founded. In order to close this gap and make our position clear, a comrade of the CP, Thanasis Spanidis, has explained the position in detail on behalf of the organization.
The last Congress of the Communist Organisation (Kommunistische Organisation, KO) was held from June 21 to 23, 2024. At this congress the members decided to found the Communist Party (Kommunistische Partei, KP). Therefore, we consider this congress to be our 1st Party Construction Congress (a name we adopted for the first two congresses, because they will establish the basic features of the party as such). As a result, we are giving up our previous name and are changing it to Kommunistische Partei (KP).
"The struggle for the unity of the working class in our country, against the division caused by racism in all its forms (whether anti-Palestinian or anti-Jewish), against the war policy of the rulers, therefore obliges us to put solidarity with the Palestinian people on the political agenda in our own interest, without fear of being defamed by the ruling propaganda or the repression of the state."-
Statement of the Central Leadership of the Communist Organization of 24 December 2023, revised on March 10, 2024
English translation of the statement.
Internationale Kommission der Kommunistischen Organisation, Deutschland
Wir begrüßen die Entscheidung zur Gründung der Europäischen Kommunistischen Aktion als einen positiven und notwendigen Schritt, um die Zusammenarbeit und Koordination der kommunistischen Parteien Europas auf einer gemeinsamen inhaltlichen Grundlage zu verstärken.
Theses according to which the imperialist world system today is unipolar dominated by the USA are not tenable. The term "comprador bourgeoisie" is totally inappropriate to characterize the bourgeoisie in weaker countries of the imperialist world system. In these countries, too, monopoly capital rules and, in order to pursue its own profit strategies, it enters into links on a global scale based on unequal mutual dependence with other finance-capitalist monopolies.
Die Europäische Kommunistische Initiative ist seit dem 9. September 2023 Geschichte. Die Notwendigkeit einer verstärkten Koordination und gemeinsamen Organisierung der kommunistischen Bewegung in Europa und weltweit auf Grundlage des proletarischen Internationalismus und des Marxismus-Leninismus ist damit nicht entfallen.
On March 17 - 19, 2023, the 25th Party Congress of the German Communist Party (DKP) took place. Focus was placed on a motion which, when passed, ultimately meant that the party’s Central Committee (CC) pushed through a line of support for Chinese capitalism. We see four main problems in the resolution, which we will outline in this critique.
