  • The Workers Revolutionary Party and the Anti-Nazi League
    This was originally posted on my Patreon here. A scan of the pamphlet discussed below can be found here. In mid-1978, the Workers Revolutionary Party published a pamphlet titled The Anti-Nazi League and Fascism, based on articles written for their newspaper, Newsline, by Jack Gale.
