The American Party of Labor is an American anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist party founded in 2008, which follows the pro-Albanian tradition (Hoxhaism).
The American Party of Labor had its origin in the activities of the American communist Jack Shulman, former secretary of Communist Party USA leader William Z. Foster, and the British Marxist-Leninist Bill Bland. Members of the American Party of Labor had previously been active in Alliance Marxist-Leninist and International Struggle Marxist-Leninist, two organizations founded by Shulman and Bland. The present day APL sees itself as upholding and continuing the work of Shulman and Bland. The APL maintains friendly relations with a number of foreign communist parties in the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle), including the Turkish Labour Party (EMEP), the Labour Party of Iran, the Workers' Communist Party (Denmark), and the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of Ecuador (PCMLE).
It also has cordial ties with the Chilean Communist Party (Proletarian Action) and the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist).
It has been involved in a number of events, such as a 2013 protest against the Golden Dawn in Chicago, a 2014 meeting on Ukraine, and a protest against Donald Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention. In July of 2017, the APL participated in the XXI International Seminar on Problems of the Revolution in Latin America in Quito, Ecuador hosted by the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of Ecuador.
