The KPL's foundation is dialectical materialism. The party views history as a permanent class struggle between labor and capital. Its humanistic perspective is collectivist: the individual finds fulfillment within the community and through liberation from exploitation. The state is not seen as a neutral actor but as an instrument of power for the ruling class, which must be replaced by a dictatorship of the proletariat to ultimately establish a classless society.
The KPL's agenda is radically focused on top-down redistribution. Core demands include the nationalization of banks and key industries, a significant reduction in working hours with full wage compensation, and withdrawal from NATO and the EU, which they denounce as imperialist projects. Their target audience comprises the traditional working class and those in precarious employment. The party acts as a fundamental systemic opposition, believing that social security can only be achieved through a complete system change.
Strategically, the KPL operates as an extra-parliamentary force, often on the fringes of political relevance, primarily utilizing parliamentary processes as a platform for agitation. Its relationship with the rule of law is purely instrumental.
