The New Communist Party of the Netherlands (NCPN) is a Marxist-Leninist party based in the Netherlands. It has its roots in the Communist Party of the Netherlands, and formed from members of that party after it turned to social democracy.
The NCPN does not support either side in the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian conflict, instead stating that a proper anti-imperialist position means not taking sides in inter-imperialist conflicts. It characterizes the Russian Federation as a strong imperialist power,[1] and the People's Republic of China as a country where "capitalist relations now prevail".[2]
History
The NCPN was founded in 1992 by hardline Marxists who opposed the merger of the CPN with several opportunist and liberal organizations into the liberal GreenLeft party. The NCPN was also joined by people who had already split off prior to this merger, in opposition to the Eurocommunist course.
In 1999, a split took place in the NCPN, when Engel Modderman and the rest of the Scheemda chapter split off as the United Communist Party over disagreements regarding local NCPN support for a luxury housing project in the province of Groningen.[3]
As Groningen was historically a communist electoral bulwark, this split was notable in the fact that the VCP remains locally represented, while NCPN support in those municipalities virtually dissipated.[4]

economic basis (monopoly capitalism) and other important aspects. As a result of this approach, countries with interests opposed to those of the US are labelled as 'anti-imperialist'. Even strong imperialist countries that promote the interests of their monopolies internationally, such as Russia.”
