KPD (Communist Party of Germany)

The Communist Party of Germany (KPD) was a political organization founded in 1918 that aimed to establish a socialist society based on Marxist principles. It sought to replace capitalism with a system where workers controlled production and resources. The KPD was aligned with the Soviet Union and promoted revolutionary change through class struggle. It was active during the Weimar Republic but faced opposition from both the government and other political groups, leading to its banning in Nazi Germany in 1933. The KPD played a significant role in Germany's political conflicts during the early 20th century, advocating for communist ideals amidst a turbulent era.
