It was originally of Maoist orientation, but later it evolved a pro-Albanian stance. PC de C (M–L) is an underground party and a Hoxhaist follower.
The armed wing of PC de C (M–L) is the Popular Liberation Army (EPL) guerrilla group.
The PC de C (M–L) and EPL suffered a major setback in 1990, when the majority of its cadres surrendered to the government. The members of this defeated faction regrouped themselves as the political organization Hope, Peace, and Liberty (ESPALI). Internationally, it is affiliated with the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle).
