Communist Students
Communist Students is the student section of the Young Communist League. It was launched in 2005 in coordination with several overseas Communist parties and Young Communist organisations, with members studying in this country. This reflects the close relationship between the Communist party and its Fraternal parties that is developed in the Co-ordinating Committee of Communist Parties in Britain.
Communist Students aims to build a united Communist front within the student movement and to work with other sections of the left to fight for left policies within the National Union of Students and on campus. It works for peace, within the Stop the War Coalition and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. It struggles for socialism, by working with the Communist party of Britain and members of domiciled Communist Parties to unite the labour movement around a left-wing programme.
Student Unity is the newsletter of Communist Students, which is distributed at events and each day at the NUS annual conference.
Communist Students used their stall at the 2009 Blackpool NUS conference (31st of March till the 2nd of April) to distribute issues of Student unity and free copies of the Morning Star.

Famous quotes containing the words communist and/or students:
“I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
