Marxist–Leninist Struggle League

Template:More citations needed Template:Infobox political party {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}; MLK; Template:Langx), full name {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (m-l; Template:Langx), was a communist political organization in Sweden formed in 1970 by {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (Left Youth League), the youth organization of VPK. Within VUF several ultraleftist tendencies had surged during the 1960s, orientating it toward Maoism. VUF broke with VPK in 1968; in 1970, they formed MLK. MLK was ideologically almost identical with the larger KFML/SKP, with Marxism–Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought as the ideological backbone. MLK supported KFML/SKP in elections.

Notable former members include later Left Party leader Gudrun Schyman.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

MLK suffered a major split in 1972 when a group under leadership of Anders Carlberg (had been the chairman of VUF) left MLK and formed {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (League COMMUNIST).

MLK published {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (in Finnish). The two latter ones were published between 1971 and 1978. Between 1980 and 1982, MLK and Kommunistisk Ungdom, the new VPK youth organisation, were involved in a legal dispute over the right to publish newspapers using the name Stormklockan, with MLK winning the dispute in the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

MLK maintained four bookstores, named after Set Persson, in Stockholm, Trollhättan, Sundsvall and Kiruna.

In 1981, MLK unified itself with Röd Ungdom, the youth organization of SKP.
