Ideology

PCC(M–L) was originally of Maoist orientation, breaking off from the PCC in 1965 over disagreement on support for the Chinese Communist Party, recognized as it's official sister party in Colombia. Later, after the Sino-Albanian split, it adopted a pro-Albanian stance, moving it towards Hoxhaism.[2]

Reorganization

In 1991, peace talks dubbed the Tlaxcala and Caracas dialogues led to a partial demobilization of EPL fighters and the reorganization of the CPC(M-L) into the political party - Hope, Peace, and Liberty (ESPALI), now Democratic Hope.[3] Internationally, it is affiliated with the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle).[4][5]
