Show detail Hide detail

Communist International : The Communist International, founded in 1919, lasted until 1943. Its' purpose was to organize all Communist parties throughout the world into a co-ordinated effort to struggle against capitalism, expedite the collapse of bourgeois rule and society, and secure the victory of the revolutionary working masses. The Communist International created a number of international socialist organizations, subordinated to it, to achieve these goals, organizations such as the Communist Youth International (1919-1943), Red Union International (1921-1937), International Peasants' Council (1923-1933) and International Red Aid (1922-1947). The Anglo-American Secretariat (1919-1937) was an operational support office of the Communist International's headquarters in Moscow. More is said of these organizations in the series descriptions, which also detail the links between the Communist Party of Canada and its various agencies with the Communist International and its organizations noted above.
