Communist Students

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Communist Students is a Marxist student group in the UK, autonomous from but politically close to the Communist Party of Great Britain. It was launched at a founding conference in December 2006, with the adoption of a constitution and programme, and election of executive members.[1]

As well as single issue campaigns (such as Hands Off the People of Iran and Stop The War Coalition), Communist Students organises within other leftist student and youth groups, including Student Respect and the Labour Representation Committee's youth section, the Socialist Youth Network.[2][3]

Central to their work is the free publication which they produce and distribute, Communist Student. In this paper they have covered issues ranging from studentd fees, Iran, Palestine, democracy on the left, and a debate on how to fight fascism.[4] Additional to this newspaper they publish a number of articles and debates on their website and blog.[5]
