Eurocommunism was a revisionist Marxist tendency that was popularized by Santiago Carillo—general secretary of the Communist Party of Spain (PCE) from 1960–1982—in his landmark political work, Eurocommunism and the State. By its supporters, Eurocommunism is meant to be a natural continuation of Marxist ideology after the death of fascist regimes in Greece, Italy, and Portugal and the "defeat of U.S. imperialism in Vietnam" and as a rejection of dogmatic currents in Marxist politics.[1] In reality, Eurocommunism rejects the core Marxist tenant of class struggle due to its reformism, attacks socialist nations such as the Soviet Union and China, and defends western imperialism.[2] It can be argued that the Eurocommunist movement is most similar to the Democratic Socialist movement that plagues the western socialist movement to this day.
