History
In the 1920sicelandic communists tried to take over the Social Democratic Party but their ideology and the party's, was quickly growing apart. The communists formed a radical section within the party which they called the Association of Young Communists. That soon became the Sparta Socialist Association but eventually they left the social democrats to form their own party as suggested by Comintern. The Communist Party of Iceland was formed in 1930 and immediately became a member of Comintern. Sometimes referred to as the Jazz Age or primarily in North America as the Roaring Twenties. // Events and trends Technology John T.

In 1938 another splintergroup, which left the social democrats the year before, unified itself with the communists forming the United People's Socialist Party (Sameiningarflokkur alþýðu, sósíalistaflokkurinn). The new party did not continue the Comintern membership. However, the communists were dominant in the party and it was mostly the same as it's predecessor. In 1956 the United People's Socialist Party formed the People's Alliance as an electoral alliance with yet another splintergroup from the Social Democratic Party. The People's Alliance became a political party in 1968.

Through relating and responding to political developments in Iceland and internationally, working with the communist movement, and studying Pathfinder books, a layer of revolutionary-minded youth attracted to the YS was able to develop in a proletarian direction.
During these events members of the Communist League who work in the fishing industry, in which a big component of the workers are immigrants, learned that Chinese co-workers and others were taking off work in order to greet the Chinese president, standing along the route of his vehicle to bid him welcome.
Peter Clifford of the CL in the United Kingdom said the political work of communists employed in the fishing industry in Iceland is important for the world movement, since it involves questions like quotas, the social conditions of independent fishermen, overfishing by big corporations, and interimperialist competition.
