Young Communist League of Sweden (Sveriges Kommunistiska Ungdomsförbund) was a political youth organization in Sweden.
When Arbetarpartiet Kommunisterna (Workers Party - the Communists) broke out of VPK in 1977, they founded a youth league with the name SKU. The Flamman-group in KU (Communist Youth, youth of VPK) had been expelled during 1975-1976. Later a large section of the Gävleborg district of KU affiliated itself to SKU.
SKU published a magazine called Gryningen (The Dawn).
In the late 1980s SKU started to become associated with an oppositional stream within APK. In 1990 SKU broke relations the APK. Thereafter it had a short-lived period as an independent youth organization. On May Day 1990 in Stockholm SKU marched together with KU and Ungsocialisterna (youth of Socialist Party) under the banner of "Youth against Capitalism and Stalinism".
Famous quotes containing the words young, communist and/or league:
“Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigour. With such people the grey head is but the impression of the old fellow’s hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well- spent life.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
