Communist Party of Georgeland

Not to be confused with this party's modern-day successor, the Georgeland Communist Party

The Communist Party of Georgeland was a Communist political party operating in Georgeland from 1919 until its dissolution in 1992. At its height in the mid-1930s the party had nearly three hundred thousand members and was considered as a serious potential threat to Georgeland's security before and during the Cold War. The party advocated the establishment of a Communist state through revolutionary means, though in practice it limited its activities to peaceful political campaigning. Despite this, the C.P.G. had connections to a number of student radical groups, particularly in the 1960s. Several Conservative governments made limited attempts to ban or curtail the C.P.G. but these efforts were never more than token. The C.P.G. advocated a Marxist-Leninist form of Communism for most of its life. A split between Marxist-Leninists and Maoists in the 1950s resulted in the formation of two seperate parties until both were recombined in 1961. The Party officially dissolved in 1992 following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some of its members formed a similarly named party, the Georgeland Communist Party, in 1994, while others formed smaller fringe Left parties.

Elected representatives
Only one open member of the C.P.G. was ever elected to a Georgeland Parliament - Frank Adams was elected to the Mainland state legislature in 1947 but defeated four years later. Despite this, a number of Labour members of the state and federal Parliaments were known to have had ties to the Communist Party, and one, Douglas Mitchum, was elected to the Senate in 1958, though his membership of the Party was not known at the time.
