Red Patriot was a publication by the Communist Party of Ireland (Marxist–Leninist), it articulated an anti-revisionist outlook on Irish politics with a Marxist-Leninist stance.[1]
Initially Maoist, the CPI-ML moved away from Mao and sided with an Albanian articulation of Communism - Hoxhaism.[1][2] Initially published by the forerunner to the CPI-ML, Irish Revolutionary Youth, and launched in 1969,[3] it was produced irregularly throughout the party's history, sometimes as a weekly, sometimes monthly.[citation needed] It was relaunched in 1982 after two years unpublished on the party's twelfth anniversary.[1][4]
It was replaced in 1984 by The Voice of Revolution, itself replaced by Marxist-Leninist Weekly in 1985.[4]
