The British Communist Party

The British Communist Party (BCP), founded in 1920, is a political organization that advocates for communism in the UK. It promotes a society where the means of production are owned collectively, aiming to eliminate class distinctions and establish a socialist system. The party gained prominence in the early to mid-20th century, especially during and after World War II. Although its influence has waned since the 1980s and it has faced numerous challenges, the BCP continues to exist, focusing on issues like workers' rights, social justice, and anti-capitalism through activism and political engagement.
