The Communist Party Landolagoj (Esperanto: Komunista Partio Landolagoj, KPL) is a far-left political party.

History

The party was founded as a revolutionary splinter group from the social democratic SLP. The reason for the split was that the SLP formed a coalition with the liberal LDP after the 1903 general election. Although the party was founded in 1903, it took until 1922 before it took part in the elections.
