Kommunistische Partei Österreichs
Placement: Far left
Communist Party of Austria: outside the national Parliament (2.4% in 2024), it is strong locally, with Graz mayor Elke Kahr. Affordable housing and rents, welfare, its elected officials give up part of their salary, neutrality and opposition to military spending.
In short
On the traditional scale, Kommunistische Partei Österreichs sits in the far left camp. The clearest positions are on economy: strongly towards “equality”; religion: strongly towards “secularism”; foreign policy: strongly towards “pacifism”; society: strongly towards “progress”. On sovereignty it stays balanced. Among ideologies, the closest is democratic socialism (98%).
