Revision as of 00:49, 28 November 2020
Left-wing anticommunism is anti-communism from the perspective of the left wing. Since the split of the Communist parties from the socialist Second International to form the Marxist–Leninist Third International, social democrats have been critical of the Communist movement due to its anti-liberal nature.[1]
Examples of left-wing critics of Marxist–Leninist states and parties are Friedrich Ebert, Boris Souveraine, George Orwell, Bayard Rustin, Irving Howe and Max Shachtman.
The American Federation of Labor has always been strongly anti-communist. The more leftist Congress of Industrial Organizations purged its Communists in 1947 and has been staunchly anti-communist ever since.[2][3] In Britain, the Labour Party strenuously resisted Communist efforts to infiltrate its ranks and take control of locals in the 1930s. The Labour Party became anti-communist and Labour Prime Minister Clement Attlee was a staunch supporter of NATO.[4]
