Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) of San Marino

The Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) of San Marino (in Italian: "Partito Comunista (Marxista-Leninista) di San Marino") was a pro-People's Republic of China communist party in San Marino. The party was founded in 1968 by the Marxist-Leninist Movement of San Marino ("Movimento Marxista-Leninista di San Marino"), which had been formed a few years earlier by dissidents of the San Marinese Communist Party.
