Communist Students (Young Communist League)

Not to be confused with Communist Students (CPGB), close to the Communist Party of Great Britain (Provisional Central Committee).

Communist Students is a Communist student group in the UK. It is the Student section of the Young Communist League which is the youth section of the Communist Party of Britain

It was launched in 2005 in coordination with several overseas Communist parties and Young Communist organisations, with members studying in this country.^[1][2] This reflects the close relationship between the Communist party and its Fraternal parties that is developed in the Co-ordinating Committee of Communist Parties in Britain.

Communist Students aims to build a united Communist front within the student movement and to work with other sections of the left to fight for left policies within the National Union of Students and on campus.

CS works for peace, within the Stop the War Coalition and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. CS struggles for socialism, by working with the Communist party of Britain and members of domiciled Communist Parties to unite the labour movement around a left-wing programme.

Student Unity is the newsletter of Communist Students which is distributed at CS events and each day at the NUS annual conference.^[3]

Communist Students used their stall at the 2009 Blackpool NUS conference (31st of March till the 2nd of April) to distribute issues of Student unity and free copies of the Morning Star.^[4]
