People's Front of Iceland (Icelandic: Alþýðufylkingin, PFI[4]) is an anti-capitalist[3] political party in Iceland founded on 18 February 2013, seeking to "... free the people from the yoke of market capitalism".[8] It is "unconditionally opposed" to Iceland's accession to both the European Union[9] and NATO, believing them to be "imperialist" organisations.[4] The party founder, Þorvaldur Þorvaldsson (tl. Thorvaldur), is a self-declared communist.[10]
