The Mexican Communist Party (Spanish: Partido Comunista Mexicano PCM) was a communist party in Mexico. It was founded in 1911 as the Socialist Workers’ Party (Partido Socialista Obrero PSO) by Manabendra Nath Roy a left-wing Indian Bengali intellectual. The PSO changed its name to the Mexican Communist Party in November 1919 following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. It was outlawed in 1925 and remained illegal until 1935 during the presidency of the leftist Lázaro Cárdenas.
