Communist Circle of Breda (Marxist–Leninist)

The Communist Circle of Breda (Marxist–Leninist) was a small Dutch Marxist-Leninist group active primarily in the city of Breda during the 1970s and potentially into the early 1980s. Information about the group is scarce, relying largely on anecdotal accounts and mentions in broader histories of the Dutch far-left movement.

The group adhered to a Marxist-Leninist ideology, which typically involves advocating for a socialist revolution, the establishment of a proletarian dictatorship, and adherence to the principles of historical materialism and dialectical materialism. The "Marxist-Leninist" suffix in their name indicates an alignment with the political and ideological interpretations of Marxism as developed by Vladimir Lenin.

The Circle's activities likely consisted of study groups, political discussions, distribution of propaganda (leaflets, pamphlets), and potentially participation in local political demonstrations or activism related to workers' rights, anti-imperialism, and other issues relevant to their ideology. It is likely that the group attempted to mobilize and organize support among the working class within the Breda area.

The Communist Circle of Breda (Marxist–Leninist) was one of many small, local communist groups that emerged in the Netherlands during the 1970s, a period of heightened political activism and ideological ferment. These groups often had limited membership and influence, and many were relatively short-lived. Comprehensive information about the specific activities, membership, and ultimate fate of the Communist Circle of Breda (Marxist–Leninist) remains limited due to the passage of time and the nature of underground or semi-underground political organizations.
