Austrian Communist Party (KPÖ)

The Austrian Communist Party (KPÖ) is a political organization in Austria advocating for socialist principles, social equality, and workers’ rights. Historically rooted in Marxist ideology, it aims to promote social justice, public ownership of resources, and welfare policies. While it has limited electoral influence today, the KPÖ remains active in local politics, especially in Graz, where it advocates for affordable housing, social programs, and community engagement. The party emphasizes addressing economic disparities and fostering a more equitable society through democratic means, maintaining a focus on socialist ideals within Austria’s political landscape.
