DescriptionMarxist party which calls for an instant "break with capitalism and property relations." The DKP is considered the successor to the larger Communist Party of Germany (KPD) after it was banned in 1956. The DKP was designated 'left-wing extremist' by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in 2016 for, among other things, training a 200-person paramilitary group from 1969-1989 for acts of sabotage and assassinations. The DKP was banned on July 8, 2021 from participating in the September 26, 2021 federal elections, a ban which was overturned on July 27, 2021 by the Federal Constitutional Court. The DKP opposes Germany's support for the Ukraine and sanctions against Russia. Party is led by Patrik Köbele [Deutsche Kommunistische Partei (DKP)].
