The Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of Venezuela (Spanish: Partido Comunista Marxista-Leninista de Venezuela, PCMLV) is a Hoxhaist Communist party in Venezuela founded in 2009. It is a member of the International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle).
Political Positions
Because the PCMLV espouses the Marxist-Leninist ideals of building a vanguard party and focusing on the eventual seizure of political power in the form of the dictatorship of the proletariat, they do not directly participate in Venezuelan electoral politics. However, they support the Bolivarian Revolution, as they believe it is a necessary step in combating imperialism. The PCMLV views the political situation in Venezuela to be a positive force for creating space that allows their party to construct the foundations for building revolutionary socialism. The political goal of the PCMLV is not to supersede the United Socialist Party of Venezuela as the country's ruling party, rather, they wish to invoke Marxist-Leninist theory and practice into the existing Bolivarian process in order to "find the road to the genuine revolution and socialism"
