History

The party was founded on July 3, 2004 in London.[1][2] Many of the founding members had previously been members of the Association of Communist Workers or the Indian Workers Association (GB).

The party is led by writer and businessman Harpal Brar, who has been editor of the Marxist-Leninist journal Lalkar (formerly the organ of the Indian Workers Association (GB)) since 1979 and has written books on many aspects of Marxism (see his entry for full listing). The party's vice-chairman and international secretary is Ella Rule. The general secretary is Zane Carpenter and Keith Bennett is another leading member of the party.

Ideology

The CPGB-ML adheres to Marxism-Leninism as they perceive it was developed by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. They consider that, after the death of Stalin, revisionists in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union leadership undermined socialism to the point where the Soviet Union collapsed. The party places emphasis on the importance of theory and education.

Campaigning

It takes a keen interest in international affairs and supports the Irish Republican movement, the Iraqi Resistance, Cuba, the People's Republic of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Many CPGB-ML members were also active in the Stop the War Coalition until the party's expulsion in October 2011, their respective trade unions and pensioners' campaigns.

Electoral work

Brar is the leader of a political party 'Proletarian' which was formed in 2008. The party, was formed "to prepare for standing in elections".[3]
