The party was established amongst the house squatters' milieu in March 1972 as
Den revolutionære Boligorganisation marxister-leninister (English:
Revolutionary Inhabitants Organization marxist-leninists) or
BOm-l. It was headed by a Central Committee and published the
BOml bulletin. BOm-l had a similar platform to the
Communist League Marxist-Leninists (KFML). Discussions were held between the two groups about a merger, and BOm-l declared that they were ready to accept the political leadership of KFML, wherein they would become a 'sectoral organization' of KFML. This sparked new enthusiasm within KFML. However the cultural differences between the theoretical-ideological KFML and the "activist" BOm-l proved to be too large, and the two organizations quickly went from allies to rivals. The split was final when BOm-l reconstituted itself as the
Marxistisk-Leninistisk Enhedsforbund (MLE) in February 1973. MLE and KFML had almost identical programs and both sought recognition from the same foreign parties, such as
AKP(ml) (
Norway) and
KFML (
Sweden). In 1974 there was a split in MLE, and about 50% of its members joined KFML. In 1975 MLE was dissolved and the majority of its remaining cadre joined KFML. == Platform ==
