The Syrian Communist Party (Arabic: الحزب الشيوعي السوري, romanized: Al-Hizb Ash-Shuyū'ī As-Sūrī) is a banned communist party in Syria. It is Marxist–Leninist and anti-revisionist in its orientation.[3][4][5]
It emerged from a split from the original Syrian Communist Party and originated from the anti-revisionist and anti-Perestroika faction of the latter.
The party supported the Assad government and was consequently banned by the transitional government after the Assad government's fall.[6]
