EurocommunismPolicy followed by communist parties in Western Europe during the 1970s and 1980s to seek power within the framework of national political structures rather than by revolutionary means.

While remaining faithful Soviet lackeys, Eurocommunist leaders like George Marchais, Enrico Berlinguer, and Santiago Carillo publicly criticized the Kremlin over human rights issues and denounced communist terrorist groups--but only as a ploy to gain legitimacy and extend communist influence through democratic means. However, this adjustment occurred without the adoption of the Eurocommunist theory, and only after two major splits within the movement leading to the formation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) or the CPM, and subsequently the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) or the CPI-ML. |
