Hardial Bains (August 15, 1939 - August 24, 1997) was the founder of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) and its leader until his death. Born in India into a Communist family in the Punjab, Bains became a member of the youth wing of the Communist Party of India (CPI). He was dismayed by what he saw as the revisionism of Nikita Khrushchev following the death of Joseph Stalin, and he broke with the CPI when it supported Khrushchev's criticisms of Stalin. In 1961, he founded the Internationalists, an anti-revisionist organization that supported Mao Zedong's Communist Party of China in the Sino-Soviet split. This organisation (in Canada) ultimately became the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) (CPC-ML), of which Bains was the founding leader.
