Communist League (UK, 1988)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Communist League was formed by a split in 1988 from Socialist Action which joined the American Socialist Workers Party's Pathfinder tendency. It maintained a bookshop in The Cut in London.
Its members sell The Militant, the paper of the American Socialist Workers Party, which claims many of them work in the strategic meat packing industry. Two Communist League candidates stood as independents in the 2005 UK general election, one against George Galloway in Bethnal Green and Bow polling only 38 votes.
