History: KPML(r) was founded in 1970 as a splinter group of pro-Beijing KFML. "(r)-arna" considered that KFML had approached reformism and was not a genuine workers' movement. During 1970-1977 KPML(r) was called KFML(r), Communist League Marxist-Leninists (the revolutionaries). In 1970 it began publishing the weekly "Proletären" (The Proletarian). During the 80's KPML(r) acheived representation in some munipicalities, including Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden's second largest city. The Göteborg region has always been the strongest point of KPML(r). During the period of 1970 to 1999 the party chairman was Frank Baude. Today, he's still a CC member.
