The Communist Party of Germany (Red Dawn) (German: Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands - Roter Morgen) was one of several minor communist political parties in Germany that split from the Communist Party of Germany/Marxists–Leninists (KPD/ML) upon the death of Ernst Aust in 1985.[1]

History and Ideology

A cover of "Roter Morgen" (issue 1/2007)

It was founded in December 1986 in Hamburg by members of the Communist Party of Germany/Marxists-Leninists who disapproved of that group's fusion with the Trotskyist Gruppe Internationale Marxisten, seeing it as betrayal of their Hoxhaist ideology.[2][3]

The party was quoted in 1992 as declaring Israel "the most bloodthirsty and power-hungry bastion against the people".[4]

The party published its own monthly newspaper Roter Morgen until its dissolution in 2011.

Logo of Red October

Red October - Organisation for the construction of a Communist Party in Germany (German: Roter Oktober - Organisation zum Aufbau der Kommunistischen Partei in Deutschland), short form: RO, split from the KPD (Red Dawn) in December 2002 due to viewing their predecessor as false communists.[5] The organisation itself wasn't a political party, but rather an association of communists with the eventual goal of constructing a vanguardist party able to bring about the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Red October dissolved in 2009, stating their goal for the construction of a real communist party in Germany to have failed.[6]
