World Revolution is a left communist organisation in Britain. It is a section of the International Communist Current (ICC).
The group was founded in the mid-1970s by former supporters of Solidarity. In 1975, they merged with the ICC, adopting the "World Revolution" name. The following year, a minority faction of the Communist Workers Organisation joined the group. In 1981, a group of members, mostly based in Scotland, split to form the Communist Bulletin Group.
Famous quotes containing the words world and/or revolution:
“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
