Revolutionary Democratic Group

|
The Revolutionary Democratic Group (RDG) is a tiny socialist organisation in the United Kingdom. They were founded in the early 1980s as a split from London and Scottish branches of the Socialist Workers Party.
For many years, they considered themselves an "external faction" of the SWP, but in the late 1990s they joined Arthur Scargill's Socialist Labour Party. They left and are now in the Socialist Alliance. They now have good relations with Communist Party of Great Britain.
In the 1987 election the RDG joined the Red Front, an electoral alliance spearheaded by the Revolutionary Communist Party.
They briefly sold the Alliance for Workers' Liberty's newspaper Solidarity. The group occaisionally produces one-off editions of its newspaper, Republican Worker. These are targetted at particular events, such as conferences or demonstrations.
