Ymgyrchu Communists in British Socialists Party Directory

    

The ideological excitement of the Russian Revolution provided a new stimulus to industrial unionism in all its diverse forms, and after 1918 South Wales was to become, along with Clydeside, the major breedingground for the Communist Party of Great Britain. The British Communist Party was founded in July 1920, and from 1929 they had candidates in most General Elections. It was the Communists who set up and encouraged the development of the National Movement for the Unemployed Workers. In 1937 the central committee for the Communist Party announced that they fully supported the campaign for selfgovernment in Wales.
