The Partido Comunista de Bolivia (PCB) is a party founded in Bolivia in 1950 . She takes a Marxist-Leninist point of view.
The party was formed at the beginning of the 1950s after there had been communist organizations in Bolivia since the 1920s. One of the predecessor organizations was the Partido de la Izquierda Revolucionaria , from which the founding members of the Communist Party of Bolivia also came.
One of the most famous party leaders of the Bolivian communists was Mario Monje , who co-founded the party and was its general secretary from 1967 to 1970.
In the mid-1960s, the PCB played an ambiguous role in attempting to export the Cuban model of armed struggle to other Latin American countries. Some of its members had received military training in Cuba, but the party generally spoke out against a revolutionary guerrilla struggle in Bolivia and did not support the Ejército de Liberación Nacional guerrilla group led by Ernesto Che Guevara - similar to the leadership of the Soviet Union and the CPSU .
Since the 1980s, it has had little influence on Bolivian politics. Until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the party was oriented towards its policy. Since 2002 she has supported Evo Morales ' respective candidacy .
It has been directed by Ignacio Mendoza Pizarro since 2003. Your youth organization is the Juventud Comunista de Bolivia (JCB).
