Willi Dickhut (1904–1992) was a German communist, metalworker, and key Marxist-Leninist theorist. Born into a working-class family, he joined the KPD in the 1920s and was active in resistance against the Nazis. He survived years in prison and concentration camps. After WWII, he resumed political work but was expelled from the KPD in 1966 for criticizing Soviet revisionism. He helped found the MLPD and was its leading theorist, advocating anti-revisionism, workers’ leadership, and independent Marxist thought.
