Young Communist League of Sweden (marxist-leninists)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Young Communist League of Sweden (marxist-leninists) (in Swedish: Sveriges Kommunistiska Ungdomsförbund (marxist-leninisterna)) was the youth organization of the KFML(r)/KPML(r) during 1972-1978. As SKU(ml) was formed two front organizations of KFML(r), the Solidarity Front for the People of Indochina and Clarté (m-l) were merged into SKU(ml).
SKU(m-l) published Ungkommunisten (Young Communist). It also had a publishing activity, called Ungkommunistens Förlag.
In 1975 the Västerås branch of SKU(ml) was expelled, accused of Trotskyism. The Västerås branch had tried to rally a 'Left Opposition' within SKU(ml). After the expulsion, the group merged with the League of Revolutionary Marxists (RMF).
SKU(ml), as well as the party and other organizations close to it, was subject to political surveillance from SÄPO. In 1980 (by the time the youth league was disbanded) SÄPO had 203 individuals registered as SKU(ml) members.
