Statement of the Workers’ Communist Party of Denmark (APK), December 1, 2003
The self-proclaimed Communist parties, the Communist Party in Denmark (KPiD), the Communist Party of Denmark (Marxist-Leninist) (DKP/ML) and the Communist Party of Denmark (DKP) are negotiating on merging into one party. A concrete merger between the KPiD and the DKP/ML seems to be on its way in 2004.
The Workers’ Communist Party of Denmark (APK) states that this merger will not lead to strengthen Communism in Denmark, but to a new revisionist party that will neither serve the struggle for a Socialist Denmark under the hegemony of the working class nor the struggle for the defence of the daily interests of the working class and the great majority of people.
The basis of the merger is the so-called “anti-monopolist democracy”, a coherent, reformist strategy and tactics that was developed by Soviet revisionism after the 20th congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) in 1956 as a showdown with Marxism-Leninism. Its application led to the disaster in Chile in 1973, but nevertheless it became the programmatic basis of the DKP in Denmark in 1976.
The three parties have all joined this fake Communist platform which has completely failed historically. In the case of the DKP/ML, this marks the party’s final transition to Soviet revisionist positions and its showdown with the revolutionary past of the party as it was formed and built exactly in the struggle against revisionism. It is the result of the coup against the party in 1997 which led to its split and degeneration.
The APK declares that it will continue the struggle against modern revisionism and its representatives in Denmark in order to build a strong Communist party on the basis of Marxism-Leninism and ensure real unity among the Communist and revolutionary forces.
