The YCL’s 51st congress: working-class democracy and the growing communist movement
As the fight intensifies, we must remember that structure, discipline, unity and comradeship are what will turn socialism from a grand idea into the planet’s salvation, writes JOHNNIE HUNTER
Young Communist League

THIS weekend, the 51st congress of the Young Communist League (YCL) will convene at Ruskin House, Croydon, the contemporary home of Britain’s resurgent communist movement.

The event will welcome over 100 delegates, representing branches, districts and nations from across Britain, to discuss and debate the current position and the future plans of our party and YCL.

Our 51st congress comes at a time in history when the struggle for socialism has taken on a new urgency.
