Turning Point:Index

Index to Turning Point

MIA Introduction: In 1948, three anti-revisionist groups - the P.R. Club (Expelled), the Maritime Committee for a Communist Party, and a trade union group which published the “Vanguard” united to issue the first number of a new publication, Turning Point (although by the second issue the Trade Union group had withdrawn). In 1954, the Turning Point group renamed itself the Communist League. The journal continued publication until 1962.
