British Communist Party

The British Communist Party (BCP) was a political organization in the UK founded in 1920, inspired by Marxist ideas advocating for a classless society through collective ownership and workers’ rights. It aimed to promote socialist policies and align with international communist movements. Over time, its influence waned, especially after the Cold War, and it became a smaller, more marginal party. Today, it continues to advocate for socialist principles, focusing on issues like economic equality, anti-imperialism, and workers’ rights, though it holds limited electoral presence in the UK.
