Workers Power

I had a good search but was really surprised not to see anything on this genre, especially as some of the bands from it were composed on members of communist groups and sang very highly political songs with titles such as 'the song of the dignity of labour under capital'.
I can't post links, search wikipedia for rock in opposition to get link i was going to put here
Some of the bands:
Henry Cow - I think most were members of the CPGB
Art Bears - a split (in true leftist style) from Henry Cow
News from Babel (another Henry Cow split)
Univers Zero - very dark chamber-rock music
etc.
Check wikipedia or progarchives for more.
Here is a youtube video of last section of Henry Cow's Living in the Heart of the Best:
