Communism in Brazil has existed as a social or political ideology as well as a political movement since at least as early as the 1920s. The movement has given rise to various leftist factions and uprisings. It has been embodied in social movements and various political parties and in the intellectual works of various Marxist authors^[1]. Currently, there are six parties in Brazil that claim to be communist: the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB)^[2] and its youth wing Union of Communist Youth (UJC)^[3], the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB) and its youth wing^[4], the United Socialist Workers Party (PSTU) and its youth wing, Rebeldia^[5], the Worker's Cause Party (PCO)^[6] and the Popular Unity for Socialism (UP)^[7]. The sixth party, the Revolutionary Communist Party is not registered with the TSE of Brazil.
