The Workers' Communist League of New Zealand (abbreviated WCL) was a political party in New Zealand. During the 1980s the WCL was the second-largest Marxist organisation in the country (after the pro-Moscow Socialist Unity Party of New Zealand (SUP)).[1][2] Whilst relatively small, the organisation played a key role in various social movements.[1] The organisation was noted for its role in the protest movements against tours of the South African rugby union team Springboks. The group was active in the trade union movement, in particular in Wellington.[3] During the 1980s WCL diverged from Leninist orthodoxy and embraced feminism and Maori self-determination.
