Ideology
The ideology of the Communist Party of Spain has varied history since its founding in 1921. From its inception and to during the Spanish Civil war, the Communist Party of Spain was broadly Marxist and socialist.[1] As the Republicans lost the Spanish Civil War, most members of the leftist parties in Spain were subject to the White Terror and many left to Cuba. What was left of the party continued to exist in Spain but fell into Eurocommunism.[2] In 2017, the Communist Party of Spain stated that it has and will return to Marxist-Leninist politics to mark its 100th anniversary.[3]
