Communist Party of Great Britain

The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) was a left-wing political organization founded in 1920 that aimed to promote socialist ideals and advocate for workers’ rights through revolutionary change. It sought to establish a classless society by transitioning away from capitalism, aligning with broader communist principles. The party participated in political activism and aimed to influence UK policies, although it never gained widespread electoral success. It dissolved in 1991, with some members forming new groups. Overall, the CPGB represented a dedicated effort to advance communist ideas within the context of British politics.
