It was originally of Maoist orientation, but it later evolved a pro-Albania stance, moving it towards Hoxhaism.
The armed wing of the CPC(M–L) is the Popular Liberation Army (EPL) guerrilla group.
In 1991 peace talks, dubbed the Tlaxcala and Caracas dialogues, took place that 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).[1] Internationally, it is affiliated with the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle).
