General line of the party

Directives of the (usually communist) party in Marxist-Leninist states

In the terminology of communist states and Marxism–Leninism, the general line of the party or simply the general line is the directives of the governing bodies of a party which define the party's politics. The term was in common use by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and also adopted by many other communist parties around the world. The notion is rooted in the major principle of democratic centralism, which requires unconditional obedience to collective decisions.
