The Revolutionary Communist League (RCL) or 'Brit Kommunistim Mahapchanin' was a Trotskyist party in Palestine in the late 1930s and 1940s.
It was built out of three components: exiled German Jewish members of Heinrich Brandler’s KPO (Communist Party Opposition – the Right Opposition to Stalinism) who became supporters of the International Left Opposition; youth in the Chugim Marxistiim (Marxist Circles), the youth section of a wing of Left Poale Zion, which at the time was linked to the centrist London Bureau; and elements coming from the left Zionist kibbutz movement, Hashomer Hatzair, which was also linked to the London Bureau. Later, in the 1940s, they were joined by Jabra Nicola, an Arab Communist who broke with Stalinism over the Hitler-Stalin pact.
The Brit Kommunistim Mahapchanin published a newspaper, Kol Hama’amad (Voice of the Class).
