The Communist Party of Great Britain (Provisional Central Committee) (CPGB-PCC) is a political group which publishes the Weekly Worker newspaper. It claims the title to the original Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), formed in 1920, and grew out of an orthodox Marxist faction within that party. It began publishing The Leninist during a time of perceived reformism in the party leadership,[1] with the aim of provoking "an ideological struggle in the party in order to purge it of all rotten opportunist elements."[2] Chairman of the CPGB-PCC, Jack Conrad, admitted that "though I have never called myself a Trotskyite, a Trotskyist or a Trotskyoid, Trotsky himself exerted a strong pull over my evolving ideas," and rejected the "popular frontism, broad leftism and diplomatic internationalism promoted by Stalin."[3] The CPGB-PCC supports Labour Party Marxists, a Labour-entryist group which seeks to "transform the Labour Party into an instrument for working class advance and international socialism."[4]
