Communist Party of Mexico

The Communist Party of Mexico (PCM) was a political organization founded in 1919 that aimed to promote Marxist ideas and establish a socialist government in Mexico. It sought to represent workers and peasants, advocating for land redistribution, workers’ rights, and social equality. Throughout its history, the PCM aligned with international communist movements and often faced political repression from the Mexican government. In 1981, it merged with other groups to form the Mexican Communist Party, continuing its legacy within broader leftist politics. The PCM played a significant role in Mexico’s socialist and labor movements during the 20th century.
