The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist) is a Marxist-Leninist and anti-imperialist political party in the United Kingdom, active in England, Scotland, and Wales. Currently their chairman is retired law professor, writer and businessman Harpal Brar. The CPGB-ML was created after a split from the Socialist Labour Party (SLP) in 2004. The CPGB-ML publishes the bimonthly newspaper Proletarian, and the Marxist journal Lalkar (originally associated with the Indian Workers' Association) is also closely allied with the party.
The CPGB-ML adheres to a political theory known as Marxism-Leninism. This is the same political theory adopted by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The CPGB-ML is known for its defense of Communist leaders such as Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong.
The CPGB-ML was one of few parties in the UK which did not condemn the 2011 England riots, but instead characterized them as a rudimentary form of anti-capitalist resistance that lacked adequate leadership and direction. While the British capitalist class remains in power, the CPGB-ML is opposed to immigration controls, which it holds are measures to misdirect workers and blame each other for the crisis rather than the bourgeoisie.
The CPGB-ML opposes Trotskyism, social democracy and what they term Revisionist (including Khruschevite) parties. CPGB-ML chairman Harpal Brar published a book called Social Democracy: The Enemy Within.
