The Leninist Fraction had emerged in 1970 , due to the disillusionment of a faction within VS that wanted a stronger focus on labour struggles. The faction was able to push through a new party programme and win leadership of VS at the fourth VS congress in 1971 . VS then plunged into factional infighting. The conflicts reached their peak at the fifth congress in November 1972 , after which the faction left VS. In fact, the faction was able to gather a majority of the delegates at the 1972 congress, but in spite of this they opted to leave VS and form a new organization on the grounds that it was not possible to build a militant and revolutionary organization cohabitating with Hippie s and anti- Trade Union tendencies. Around 300 VS members followed the faction to found KF, leaving VS with just around 300 members. KF was mainly centered around Århus and Ålborg , which had been the main bases of the group that had left VS. In Århus it had a base among student activists, grouped in the 'Students Front'. The Copenhagen branch of KF was quite weak, however. KF established new branches in Odense and Helsingør , and became the leading force in the revolutionary left in Århus, Ålborg and Odense. KF started publishing ''Vejen til Socialismen'' in 1976 and ''Arbejderpolitik'' in 1977 . In 1975 , factional conflicts surged within KF. One section, centered in the university environment in Århus, emerged as a group called the 'Coffee Club' (''Kaffeklubben''). It proposed certain renewals of the strategy of KF. Ahead of the 1977 congress, a document, based upon the inputs from the Coffee Club, was approved as a strategic document of KF. A minority, based in Copenhagen, which wanted a more Leninist line organized itself as the Communist League - Politics and left KF. In 1980 KF was dissolved and its members joined VS. During its existence, KF held seven congresses and various annual summer camps. EXTERNAL LINKS |
