Communist League (UK, 1988)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Communist League was formed by a group of members expelled in 1988 from Socialist Action. Those members had joined the American Socialist Workers Party's Pathfinder tendency. It maintains a bookshop in London, originally in in The Cut but now in Bethnall Green Road.
Its members sell The Militant, the paper of the American Socialist Workers Party. It claims many of them work in the strategic meat packing industry[citation needed]. Two Communist League candidates stood as independents in the 2005 UK general election; one ran against George Galloway in Bethnal Green and Bow polling only 38 votes.
