Macedonian branch of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia

The League of Communists of Macedonia (Macedonian: Сојуз на комунистите на Македонија (СКМ); Sojuz na komunistite na Makedonija, SKM) was the Macedonian branch of the ruling League of Communists of Yugoslavia during the period 1943 – 1990. It was formed on the basis of the Regional Committee of Communists in Macedonia under the name Communist Party of Macedonia (Комунистичка партија на Македонија (КПМ); Komunistička partija na Makedonija, KPM) during the World War II in Yugoslav Macedonia (National Liberation Struggle). It retained that name until April 1952.

The League of Communists of Macedonia was the ruling political party in the Socialist Republic of Macedonia. After the introduction of political pluralism in 1990, the party renamed itself to League of Communists of Macedonia – Party for Democratic Change (Macedonian: Сојуз на комунистите на Македонија – Партија за демократска преобразба [СКМ-ПДП]; Sojuz na Komunistite na Makedonija – Partija za Demokratska Preobrazba, [SKM-PDP]) and was led by Petar Gošev, taking part in the first democratic elections in the same year. On its 11th Congress on 20 April 1991, the party was reformed, changing its socialist ideology to social democracy (similar to other former communist bloc countries), and refounding itself as the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia. There was a small minority which retained the old name and constituted itself as a distinct political entity. This party was founded in 1992 under the name Communist Party of Macedonia – Freedom Movement, in 2015 they became one of the principal creators of the far-left party The Left.

## History

[edit]

### Background

[edit]

During World War II, in 1941 and throughout 1942, the resistance against the Axis powers in occupied Yugoslav Macedonia lagged behind than in other parts of Yugoslavia.[1] After the Bulgarian takeover of most of then Vardar Banovina in April 1941, the local communists fell into the sphere of influence of the Bulgarian Communist Party (BCP).[2] The BCP supported the idea of a independent and unified Macedonia, contrary to the stance of the Yugoslav communists.[3] At that time most Macedonian communists were not yet lured to Yugoslav communists' agenda as they feared a reestablishment of the previous oppressive rule and the regional committee was de facto under control of the BCP.[4][5] As a result, the factionalist struggle between the pro-Bulgarian and the pro-Yugoslav Macedonians exacerbated.[6]

### Foundation

[edit]

Museum of the Communist Party of Macedonia in Tetovo, located in the house, where it was founded.

The situation began to change by the end of 1942 and after February 1943, when Tito's envoy Svetozar Vukmanović arrived in Macedonia as a representative of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia's central committee and Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ). The Supreme Headquarters of AVNOJ realized that securing mass participation would require to "Macedonianize" the struggle's form and content.[1] The Communist Party of Yugoslavia's plan was to have the party operate only in Vardar Macedonia and include only activists loyal to the Yugoslav agenda.[7] The Communist Party of Macedonia (CPM) was created on 19 March 1943 by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia in Tetovo in the Italian-occupation zone of Yugoslavia (in then Kingdom of Albania), on the basis of the previous Regional Committee of Communists in Macedonia. The first Central Committee consisted of Kuzman Josifovski Pitu, Bane Andreev, Cvetko Uzunovski, Strahil Gigov, Mara Naceva and Lazar Koliševski. Naceva and Koliševski were absent, as they were imprisoned in Bulgaria at the time.[8] The CPM would lead the struggle, not for the restoration of old Yugoslavia but for above all liberation and unification of Macedonia within a new federal union of Yugoslav peoples with an extension of its prewar territory.[9][10]

### Yugoslav era

[edit]

After 1944, the CPM became the main ruling party of the People's Republic of Macedonia. The party initiated pro-Bulgarian purges in January 1945.[11] The party's first congress was held in 1948. The CPM was renamed to League of Communists of Macedonia (LCM) in April 1952. The party was under the control of Macedonians, who dominated the membership. Under the direction of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY), it regulated the new republic's relations with ethnic minorities and inter-ethnic relations.[8] In 1965, LCLM proceeded to increase minority representation in the highest bodies of the party.[12] In mid-1989, during the revolutions, LCM committed itself to introducing a multi-party system in the Socialist Republic of Macedonia.[13] The party held its Tenth Congress in Skopje from 26 to 28 November 1989, when Petar Gošev became its leader. The old dogmatic party leadership, which had been pro-Serbian, was replaced.[14] It renamed itself to League of Communists of Macedonia – Party for Democratic Transformation.[15] On 7 April 1990, the party decided to leave the League of Communists of Yugoslavia.[16] The party took part in the first multi-party elections in December, when it was defeated by the nationalist VMRO-DPMNE but it gained 31 seats.[17] In 1991, the party was succeeded by the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia on 20 April 1991.[8]
