1970-1977 it was known as the Communist League Marxist-Leninists (the revolutionaries) (Kommunistiska Förbundet Marxist-Leninisterna (revolutionärerna), abbreviated KFML(r)) and during 1977-2004 it had the name Communist Party Marxist-Leninists (the revolutionaries) (Kommunistiska Partiet Marxist-Leninisterna (revolutionärerna), abbreviated KPML(r)).
KFML(r) was founded through a split in the pro-Beijing KFML. "The (r)s" ("(r)-arna") considered that KFML had approached reformism and was not a genuine workers' movement. In 1970 it began publishing the weekly Proletären (The Proletarian).
During the 1980s, KPML(r) achieved representation in some munipicalities, including Gothenburg, Sweden's second largest city. The Gothenburg region has always been the strongest point of KPML(r). During the period of 1970 to 1999 the party chairman was Frank Baude. The current chairman is Anders Carlsson.
The 14th Party Congress, held in Gothenburg January 6–8, 2005 decided to change the name of the party to the Communist Party.
The party does not participate in elections to the national nor the European parliaments. It doesn't contest national parliament elections due to tactical reasons, whereas it advocates boycott of the European parliament elections. It contests municipal elections in some municipalities.

In 1972 these two structures were dissolved and merged into the Young Communist League of Sweden (marxist-leninists), the new KFML(r) youth wing. Later a new students organisation, SKS(ml), was formed. Both SKU(ml) and SKS(ml) were disbanded towards the end of the 1970s, as the party itself consisted mainly of young people.
