Communist League of Luxembourg (German: Kommunistischer Bund Luxemburg, Luxembourgish: Kommunistesche Bond Lëtzebuerg), was an anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist political organization in Luxembourg. Forerunner of the KBL was the Association Générale des Etudiants Luxembourgeois (ASSOSS). ASSOSS was originally a left liberal organization founded in 1912 which moved leftward in the sixties. In 1969 it was transformed in the radical Gauche Socialiste et Révolutionnaire (GSR). After the split of the trotskyist Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire (LCR) in 1970 the majority of GSR was renamed in KBL in 1972.[1][2] In 1972 Kommunistische Gruppe Luxemburg (KGL) split from KBL. In 1975 Kommunistische Organisation Luxemburgs/Marxisten-Leninisten (KOL/ML) broke away but returned in 1978.
