The Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist)
was founded on the 15th March 1964 , after the original
CPA split on the issue of modern revisionism and the dictatorial
attitude of the CPSU within the international movement.
The Party strives to uphold the revolutionary traditions
and continuity of the original Party which dates from 1920.
The Programme of
the Party is based on revolution by stages; the current
stage being the struggle to win real national independence
by resisting and expelling US and other imperialisms from
Australia . With the establishment of a democratic peoples'
republic, the working class and its allies can build and
consolidate the social and material conditions for the later
stage of socialism.
In the current stage of the struggle for
revolutionary change, the working class is the only force
with the vision, determination and capacity to unite sections
of the other oppressed classes in a patriotic peoples' movement
against imperialist exploitation and takeover. The Party
pays close attention to the building of unity, political
consciousness and revolutionary organisation among the working
class.
In its political work, the Party takes
into account the hostile position of the pro-imperialist
state power and the activities of its repressive agencies.
Except for a few leading figures and spokespersons, the
majority of Party members do not reveal their association.
The current Chairperson is Bruce Cornwall.
