 Communist League   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
For decades controversy over the role played by the Communist League in the revolution of 1848-49, questioned whether the league was the most clear-sighted and decisive force, wheather it influenced the extreme left wing, or whether it was completely drowned in the general democratic movement.
By mid-1846, the seat of the central executive was shifted from Paris to London and cooperation was intensified with the Brussels committee.
Just as the preparations for the revolution had largely dominated the League's activities since its foundation and the 1848 revolution had marked the highlight of its history, the evaluation of theory was important from the revoluton to about 1852.

In 1919 the Communist International (Comintern) was founded, and as a precondition for membership all national sections of the Comintern (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Spain, etc.) had to change their name to "Communist," thus moving forward towards distinguishing themselves from the crumbling Social Democracy (and the Second International) of the past.
The Communist International degenerated after the Fourth Congress when in November 1922, Stalin came to power in the Soviet Union and the Comintern was disbanded in 1943 by Stalin, as a gesture of conciliation with the Allied powers.
The first draft of the Communist League Programme was styled as a catechism in the form of questions and answers.

 COMMUNIQUE
The seminar is convened by the Communist Party of India (ML) (People’s War), the Communist Party of the Philippines and the Communist Party of Turkey / ML and includes as participants parties upholding Marxism-Leninism-Maoism or Mao Zedong Thought and waging people’s wars and other parties supporting people’s war.
Mao’s proletarian revolutionary line consistently runs from people’s war and the new democratic revolution through socialist revolution and construction to the theory and practice of continuing revolution under the proletarian dictatorship -which is his most outstanding contribution to the development of Marxism-Leninism.
The strategic line of protracted people’s war, involving the encirclement of the cities from the countryside, is the revolutionary expression of the fundamental democratic alliance of the proletariat and peasantry.

 Encyclopedia: Tony Cliff
The label Revolutionary Communist Party was used by two independent organizations in the UK, one active during and after the second World War, the other active in the 1990s.
For most purposes Cliff was a supporter of the leadership of the RCP around Jock Haston and as such he was involved with the discussions concerning the nature of those states dominated by Russia and the Communist parties initiated by a faction within the RCP.
This debate was linked to other discussions on the nationalised industries in Britain and the increasingly critical stance of Haston and the RCP as to the leadership of the Fourth International with regard to Eastern Europe and Yugoslavia in particular.
