Summary/Abstract: The article presents the history and main assumptions of the political thought of the communist movement in Poland after 1989. This movement consisted of political parties, informal groups as well as press and internet editorial teams, for which the ideological foundation was Marxism-Leninism, Trotskyism or Maoism/Stalinism. These were, among others: the Communist Party of Poland, the Revolutionary Left Current, the Socialist Alternative, and the Workers’ Democracy. Their political thought was based on the criticism of the political changes in Poland after 1989.
