The Australian Communist Party (ACP) is a communist party in Australia. It was founded in 2019 as a split from the Communist Party of Australia. The party currently publishes a newspaper, Militant Monthly.
History[edit]
In March 2019, Bob Briton resigned as general secretary of the CPA in March 2019. Briton came into conflict with the central committee (CC) due to ideological differences between himself and others on the central committee, being accused of taking a defeatist position. This accusation was made after Briton attempted to work with the youth outside party structures. Briton deleted most of the party's social media outlets in response, and formed the ACP alongside other former CPA members.[1][2]
In August 2021, a street soup kitchen set up by the ACP in Adelaide's Whitmore Square achieved media attention when it was told it would have to relocate to a different part of the city to give food to homeless people.[3]
The ACP associates itself with the former Communist Party of Australia, which was itself known as the Australian Communist Party from 1944 until 1951.[4]
Policies[edit]
The Australian Communist Party currently has seven policies published on their website[5] These include: Education Policy[6] Housing Policy[7] Defence Policy[8] Peoples' Republic of China Policy[9] LGBTQI Policy[10] Trade Union Policy[11] Indigenous Policy[12]
Community Union Defence League[edit]
The ACP leads the Community Union Defence League (CUDL), a Marxist-Leninist community group that runs street kitchens.[13]
