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:
“A President Roosevelt comes only once in a century. I believe God knew and does know of the need of the world at this moment. I don’t believe President Roosevelt is an accident in time, or that it is an accident that he is President for a third time. I believe that Franklin D. Roosevelt truly is the voice of liberty in the world.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The tremendous outflow of intellectuals that formed such a prominent part of the general exodus from Soviet Russia in the first years of the Bolshevist Revolution seems today like the wanderings of some mythical tribe whose bird-signs and moon-signs I now retrieve from the desert dust.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
