Communist Party of Britain

[Pogue]

Anyone a member?

Are they reformist or revolutionary? Morning Star seems somewhat reformist but they describe themselves as revolutionary. But it would seem they're trying to get votes in elections. :confused:

They are reformist. Their programme, The British Road to Socialism seeks to establish Socialism in Britain through parliament by both the Communist Party and Labour attaining a majority - an absolute departure from reality. Not only do the conditions for such a strategy not exist but there is absolutely no way a parliamentary majority represents the basis for which to legislate socialism, if that in itself is even possible.

I can't find a copy of the British Road to Socialism online, but here's a few articles:

There isn't a 'communist party' (as in, those who label themseleves, 'the communist party of X) who is not reformist.
Seems weird, really.

The Weekly Worker have a good article on the CPB here (http://www.cpgb.org.uk/worker/752/returnof.html). The suggestion is that they were formed as a recent afterthought to the Morning Star.

I must admit, when I was first getting into revolution leftism, the Communist Party of Britain was the place I applied for membership first. They only seem to be active in certain parts of the country though: I live in the North and they never got back to me.

Ah well, their loss I suppose! :lol:

Since when did the re-organized CPGB become reformist? :confused:

If I was TomK I would have something witty to say here.
