Communist League (Swedish: Kommunistiska Förbundet) is a small political communist party in Sweden, connected to the Socialist Workers Party of the United States, and distributor of the Militant and part of the Pathfinder organization.
The Communist League was formed in the 1980s by a group of members who broke away from Socialistiska Partiet, with the aim of creating a more proletarian-based party. Members are encouraged to take traditional working class jobs. Although the party is not particularly old, it claims continuity from the Russian October Revolution and the ideas of Lenin and Trotsky.
