It's the bright-red page of The Communist League (UK), decorated with socialist-realistic portraits of Papa Joe, V.I.[1], and even the Hoxa in the best politburo taste. Too bad the site died in 1999, but it still contains wonderful memorabilia like: ------------------------------------------------- GLORY TO THE MARXIST-LENINIST COMMUNIST PARTY OF TURKEY
http://website.lineone.net/~comleague/compass/com12901.html
THE LARGEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL GENUINELY MARXIST-LENINIST ORGANISATION IN THE WORLD TODAY IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE 'MARXIST-LENINIST COMMUNIST PARTY' OF TURKEY.
THE COMRADES OF THE MLKP STAND IN THE VANGUARD OF THE FORCES WORKING TO RE-ESTABLISH THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIST MOVEMENT SABOTAGED BY THE FORCES OF REVISIONISM.
THEY ARE PLAYING A SIMILAR ROLE TO THAT PLAYED BY THE GREAT BOLSHEVIK PARTY IN THE DAYS OF LENIN AND STALIN (...) -------------------------------------------------
[1] There's a left urban legend in Turkey about an educated member of the political police who could read Latin numerals, which was causing him some puzzlement: "I know Lenin the first but who is this Lenin the 6th who wrote these books we confiscated", he kept wondering. In Turkish, the numerals come before royal names.
