The Communist Party of Kampuchea[a] (CPK) was a Marxist–Leninist communist party which ruled Democratic Kampuchea from 1975 to 1979. It was initially founded in 1960 as the Workers' Party of Kampuchea[b] before being renamed in 1966.
Despite the party's stance of Marxism–Leninism, it committed several major errors, including leaning into bourgeois nationalism, disregarding the need for a new democratic revolution, and aligning with the People's Republic of China under the capitalist roader Deng Xiaoping.[1]
