The '''Australian Communist Party''' ('''ACP''') is a [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxist–Leninist]] [[Political party|party]] in [[Commonwealth of Australia|Australia]] which split from the modern [[Communist Party of Australia (current)|Communist Party of Australia]] in 2019, citing "unresolved issues regarding the Party’s work [...] combined with lax [[recruitment]] practices and general ill-[[discipline]]". The organisation presents itself as the true inheritor of the legacy of the [[Communist Party of Australia]] founded in 1920, with its "Our History" page detailing the history of the CPA.<ref>[https://www.auscp.org.au/our-history "Australian Communist Party History"]. www.auscp.org.au.

==== China ====
The ACP recognises the [[People's Republic of China]] as a [[Capitalism|capitalist]] country, arguing that "the vast majority of economic activity takes place under capitalist relations of production" and that [[land]] is "[[De facto|de-facto]] treated as [[private property]] which is bought, sold, rented and traded on [[Market|markets]] like any other [[commodity]]." It "questions" China's exporting of [[capital]], which [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]] regarded as a core tenet of [[imperialism]] once it has "acquired pronounced importance",<ref><blockquote>Imperialism is capitalism in that stage of development in which the dominance of monopolies and finance capital has established itself; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun; in which the division of all territories of the globe among the great capitalist powers has been completed.</blockquote>[[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin, Vladimir]] (1916).: [[Library:Vladimir Lenin/Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism|''Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism'']]. [[Library:Vladimir Lenin/Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism#Imperialism as a special stage of capitalism|''Chapter 7: Imperialism as a special stage of capitalism'']] in ''Lenin: Selected Works'', vol. 2. [[Moscow]]: [[Progress Publishers|''Progress Publishers'']]. 1963.</ref> though it stops short of outright labelling China as "imperialist".<ref name=":0">Australian Communist Party, [https://www.auscp.org.au/policies/peoples-republic-of-china-policy "PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA: The Position of the Australian Communist Party, Regarding the People's Republic of China and the Communist Party of China (CPC)"]. www.auscp.org.au. Retrieved 2025-08-15.</ref>

Though critical of the "shortcomings" of the [[Communist Party of China]], the ACP nonetheless "support[s] China’s [[Self-determination|national independence]] in the face of [[United States of America|US]] imperialism and steadfastly oppose[s] all attempts to provoke [[war]] in the region."<ref name=":0" />

==== Israel–Palestine ====
On [[Instagram]], the organisation shared a statement by the [[Palestinian Communist Party (1991)|Palestinian Communist Party]] which commemorated the [[Nakba]] and denounced [[State of Israel|"Israel"]] as a [[Fascism|fascist]] [[Settler colonialism|settler colonial]] state.<ref>Australian Communist Party (2025-05-16).: [https://www.instagram.com/p/DJtmaCWSCfn/ "Statement by the Palestinian Communist Party on the 77th Anniversary of the Nakba of the Palestinian People"].

==== Papua conflict ====
The ACP supports the [[Free Papua Movement]], which it regards as an [[Anti-colonialism|anti-colonial]] [[national liberation]] struggle.<ref>Australian Communist Party (2021-12-01).: [https://youtu.be/ehs46lNXziM "Free West Papua ACP & CUDL"]. [[YouTube|''YouTube'']]. Retrieved 2025-10-15.</ref>
