  Revolutionary Communist Party (Furedi) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Revolutionary Communist Party (UK) started as a Trotskyist political organisation in 1978 and slowly metamorphosed into a libertarian group.
The party started life within the Revolutionary Communist Group, which had split from the International Socialists in the 1970s.
Disagreements about the course the Revolutionary Communist Group should take led Frank Furedi, a sociologist at the University of Kent to leave it and form its own group, the Revolutionary Communist Tendency, which later changed its name to the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).

 The Demise of the Revolutionary Communist Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
It’s not unknown for the organisations that have the most accurate but pessimistic prognoses to end up junking revolutionary politics, and the RCP’s assessment of the state of the labour movement at the beginning of the 1990s was considerably more accurate than those of other groups, if also more pessimistic.
Then, in a typically one-sided way, it proceeded to view the decrepit state of the labour movement as the demise of the working class as a potential revolutionary force, and came to the stunningly original conclusion that Marxism is obsolete.
Whilst the party has shrunk considerably, its leading and secondary cadre appear to have remained intact, suggesting that there has been remarkably little dissension over what is not a minor tactical shift or a strategic rethink, but a fundamental political and philosophical reorientation.
