Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist)

The Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist), often abbreviated as CPB (M), is a communist political party in Bangladesh. It is a relatively small party that traces its origins to splits and factions within the broader communist movement in Bangladesh, particularly following the independence of Bangladesh in 1971 and the subsequent internal debates on strategy and alignment with international communist trends.

The CPB (M) adheres to Marxist-Leninist ideology, advocating for a socialist revolution to establish a communist society in Bangladesh. Its political platform generally focuses on issues such as land reform, workers' rights, anti-imperialism, and social justice. The party participates in elections, although its electoral performance has historically been limited.

Like other communist parties in Bangladesh, the CPB (M) has faced challenges including internal divisions, suppression by successive governments, and the decline of communist ideology globally. It often collaborates with other left-wing parties and organizations on specific campaigns and issues.

The party's structure typically involves a central committee that guides its activities, along with local branches and affiliated organizations. Its influence is primarily found within certain segments of the working class and among leftist intellectuals. The CPB (M) publishes its own newspapers and journals to disseminate its political views and analysis. Specific details about the current leadership, membership size, and organizational strength are subject to change.
