Join the Young Communist League of Great Britain! (1937)

JF Ptak Science Books  Quick Post

Oh to be young and free and red! This pamphlet told of the joys and works of the Young Communist League of Britain, a youth version of the Communist Party of Britain.  It was launched in 1922 and somehow survived until 1988.  This pamphlet was published in 1937, which is probably the low point for the Stalinst Soviet Union for the decade of the ‘thirties, which was very low, and enforced-famine-stricken, and murderous, as just about any in the history of worst decades.  There’s a lot in the pamphlet about fighting the Fascists in Spain, and not much more.
