Marxism in Britain

The decline of Marxism in Britain, particularly after World War II, is highlighted by the significant drop in membership of the Communist Party of Great Britain, from over 50,000 in the early 1940s to under 5,000 by 1991. This trend also affected dissenting and Trotskyist groups, although there has been a recent resurgence of Marxist thought in Scotland, indicating a complex and evolving political landscape.
