The 'Parti marxiste-léniniste du Québec' or 'PMLQ' (in English: ''Marxist-Leninist Party of Quebec'') is a
Quebec communist political party. Its orientation is
Anti-Revisionist (or
Stalinist). The PMLQ is the Quebec branch of the
Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada. It has run candidates in
Quebec general elections in 1973, 1981 and since 1989 under various names: ''Parti communiste du Québec (marxiste-léniniste)'', ''Parti marxiste-léniniste (Québec)'' and ''Parti marxiste-léniniste du Québec''.
In 2002, three leftist political parties (
Rassemblement pour l'alternative progressiste,
Parti de la démocratie socialiste and
Parti communiste du Québec) have merged to form the
Union des forces progressistes. However, the Parti marxiste-léniniste du Québec as refused to join the UFP, and ran candidates in the 2003 and 2007 Quebec elections.
The leader of the PMLQ is Claude Brunelle.
