Committee to Defeat Revisionism, for Communist Unity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Committee to Defeat Revisionism, for Communist Unity was a small British Marxist-Leninist group, that had left the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1963. CDRCU was led by Michael McCreery. CDRCU was sympathetic towards the Communist Party of China and the Party of Labour of Albania. The group began publishing Vanguard in 1964.

CDRCU reached the height of its activity from February 1964 and February 1965, during which CDRCU cells were established in several cities and public meetings were arranged. However, as McCreery died in 1965 (in New Zealand) the activity of the group declined sharply. Most of the members of CDRCU regrouped into the Action Centre for Marxist-Leninist Unity.^[1] A few others later former the Workers' Party of Scotland and the Working People's Party of England.

Vanguard continued publication until 1970.^[2]
