The Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist) is a British communist political party. It was originally a Maoist party named the Communist Party of England (Marxist-Leninist). The Party opposed both NATO and the Warsaw Pact; it opposed US Imperialism and Soviet social imperialism. During the deterioration in Sino-Albanian relations, it increasingly sided with the Party of Labour of Albania. It developed party to party relations with the Party of Labour of Albania.
It is a very small party (perhaps around 40 members) and is closely related to the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) and now has good relations with the New Communist Party of Britain. It produces a weekly newspaper called Workers Weekly, runs a bookshop in south London named John Buckle Books (named after the RCPB (M-L) founding general secretary) and is active in promoting solidarity with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. In 2004, the party declared electoral support for the RESPECT Unity Coalition, but RCPB (M-L) calls for an end to the system that brings parties to power and calls on workers and peoples collectives to intervene directly in the political process and the party supports candidates of the alternative to the political system of the bourgeoisie.
