The Communist Party of Germany (Red Dawn) (German: Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands – Roter Morgen) was one of several minor communist political parties in Germany that split from the Communist Party of Germany/Marxists–Leninists (KPD/ML) upon the death of Ernst Aust in 1985.[1]

History and Ideology
edit
It was founded in December 1986 in Hamburg by members of the Communist Party of Germany/Marxists-Leninists who disapproved of that group's fusion with the Trotskyist Gruppe Internationale Marxisten, seeing it as betrayal of their Hoxhaist ideology.[2][3]
The party was quoted in 1992 as declaring Israel "the most bloodthirsty and power-hungry bastion against the people".[4]
The party published its own monthly newspaper Roter Morgen until its dissolution in 2011.
Roter Oktober
edit
Red October – Organisation for the construction of a Communist Party in Germany (German: Roter Oktober – Organisation zum Aufbau der Kommunistischen Partei in Deutschland), short form: RO, split from the KPD (Red Dawn) in December 2002 due to viewing their predecessor as false communists.[5] The organisation itself wasn't a political party, but rather an association of communists with the eventual goal of constructing a vanguardist party able to bring about the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Red October dissolved in 2009, stating that they have failed their goal for the construction of a real communist party in Germany.[6]
