The MLPD has traditionally defined itself as Maoist in orientation, originating from the heritage of Maoism in the 1960s student movements. It declares the political and economical changes in most of the eastern european countries after the 20th Party Congress as treason to socalism. It refers to the ideas of Karl Marx,Friedrich Engels,Lenin,Stalin and Mao.It propagates the "Dictatorship of proletariate",before socialism can develope.This concept excludes the existence of the civil democratic order.So the MLPD wants to abolish the current German constitution and replace it with a new social order.

The MLPD's youth movement is called Rebell (Rebel).
At the 1998 federal elections the party gained only 0.01 percent of the votes.In 2002 the MLPD didn't participate at the federal elections and called on people for boycott. The MLPD participated in the 2005 federal elections, generally positioning itself in campaigns as a radical alternative to the Left Party. The MLPD won 0.1 percent of the total votes cast.So the percental number of votes increased tenfold in comparison to the result of 1998,despite the competition through the Left Party.
Its strongest showing was in the states of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, where it garnered 0.4 percent of the vote. .
Although some German labor unions declare a simultaneous membership in the labor union and the MLPD inadmissible,many members of the party are member of a labor union and even fulfil a task there.Thereby some MLPD members were already excluded from a labor union,among these the present chairman of the party Stefan Engel,who used to be a member of the IG Metall and is now a member of Ver.di.
