Communist League of Luxembourg
political party
Communist League of Luxembourg (German: Kommunistischer Bund Luxemburg, Luxembourgish: Kommunistesche Bond Lëtzebuerg), was an anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist political organization in Luxembourg. Forerunner of the KBL was the Association Générale des Etudiants Luxembourgeois (ASSOSS). ASSOSS was originally a left liberal organization founded in 1912 which moved leftward in the sixties. In 1969, it was transformed in the radical Gauche Socialiste et Révolutionnaire (GSR). After the split of the trotskyist Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire (LCR) in 1970, the majority of GSR was renamed in KBL in 1972. In 1972, Kommunistische Gruppe Luxemburg (KGL) split from KBL. In 1975, Kommunistische Organisation Luxemburgs/Marxisten-Leninisten (KOL/ML) broke away but returned in 1978.
In 1979, KBL was the driving force behind the electoral Alternativ Lëscht – Wiert Iech which won 0,7 p.c. in the parliamentary elections. In the same year, the majority of KBL left and founded the short-lived organization Fir de Sozialismus. The KBL ceased activities in 1980.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 22, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1375591. VIAF identifies the subject as 76145003827161341420. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1912, 1969, 1970 and 1972.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
