Details
The Socialist Party of Australia was formed in 1971 by disaffected or expelled former members of the Communist Party of Australia.
Socialist Party of Australia members criticised the Communist Party of Australia for abandoning Marxist-Leninism in favour of a left social democratic position.
The Socialist Party of Australia also took a strong stance in defence of the actions of the Soviet Union, from which the CPA had distanced itself following the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia.
In 1996 the Socialist Party of Australia renamed itself the Communist Party of Australia (the CPA having wound up in 1991).
