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.

“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.”

“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
