Revolutionary Communist Party (UK, 1977)

Common card · No. 335162

The Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), called the Revolutionary Communist Tendency (RCT) until 1981, was a British political organisation that existed from 1977 to 1996. It was nominally a Trotskyist communist party until 1991, when it abandoned Trotskyism and publicly switched to a libertarian position. It began with only a few dozen supporters and grew to a peak membership of 200 in the early 1990s. RCP was distinguished by its contrarianism; among its positions were support for IRA and Saddam Hussein. From 1988 it published the journal Living Marxism, whose writers were criticised for denying the Rwandan and Bosnian genocides.
