The '''Communist Workers Union of Germany''' (German: Kommunistischer Arbeiterbund Deutschlands, KABD) was a [[Communism|communist]] organization established in 1972. It emerged as a response to the revisionist degeneration of the German Communist Party (DKP) and the banned Communist Party of Germany (KPD). The KABD's primary goal was to create a new Marxist-Leninist party that would adhere strictly to the teachings of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao Zedong. The organization published a theoretical journal called "Revolutionärer Weg" (Revolutionary Way) and a central organ named "Rote Fahne" (Red Flag). The KABD also included youth and student wings, such as the Revolutionary Youth/Marxist-Leninist (Revolutionäre Jugend/Marxisten-Leninisten). These groups played a crucial role in spreading the organization's ideology and recruiting new members. The KABD's efforts to establish a new Marxist-Leninist party culminated in 1982 with the founding of the [[Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany]] (MLPD). Throughout its existence, the KABD focused on grassroots organization and strict ideological adherence, representing a significant chapter in post-war German communist movements. The organization's evolution into the MLPD marked a new phase in its development, as it continued to pursue its goals within the broader context of German politics and leftist movements, especially as an Anti-Revisionist party. | The '''Communist Workers Union of Germany''' (German: Kommunistischer Arbeiterbund Deutschlands, KABD) was a [[Communism|communist]] organization established in 1972.
