The Japanese Communist Party (Left Faction) (日本共産党 (左派), Nihon Kyōsantō Saha) is a communist party in Japan oriented around Marxism–Leninism–Maoism. It was founded in 1969 centered on the Yamaguchi Prefecture Committee of the Japanese Communist Party, under the leadership of those who supported Fukuda Masayoshi (福田 ��義).[1]
Currently Maoist, it suffered a schism in 1975 when the Kantō faction of the party embraced the Hoxhaism of the New Zealand Communist Party while the Yamaguchi faction remained supportive of Maoism. The party reunified around Maoism in 1980.[2]
