Dutch Communist Party (KNVv)

The Dutch Communist Party (Communistische Partij Nederland, KPN) was a political party in the Netherlands founded in 1909. It aimed to promote communist principles and socialism in response to social inequalities. The party played a significant role in Dutch politics, especially during the early and mid-20th century, advocating for workers' rights and social justice. However, its influence waned after the Cold War, leading to a decline in membership and relevance. The party eventually rebranded and merged with other leftist groups, reflecting broader changes in political ideology and the landscape of left-wing politics in the Netherlands.
