Revolutionary Communist Youth (Sweden)

The Revolutionary Communist Youth (Sweden) (Swedish: Revolutionär Kommunistisk Ungdom, RKU) is the youth wing of the Revolutionary Communist Party (Sweden) (Swedish: Revolutionära Kommunistiska Partiet, RKP). The RKU describes itself as a Marxist-Leninist and revolutionary organization, dedicated to overthrowing capitalism and establishing a socialist society in Sweden.

The RKU organizes activities and campaigns targeting young people, focusing on issues such as education, employment, anti-imperialism, and anti-racism. They often participate in demonstrations and protests. The organization publishes a magazine called Revolutionsvänstern (The Revolutionary Left).

The RKU is active across Sweden, with local branches in several cities and regions. They aim to mobilize young people and educate them about Marxist-Leninist ideology, connecting current struggles with a broader vision of socialist transformation. The RKU actively recruits members at universities and high schools. They participate in student politics, advocating for reforms they view as beneficial to working-class students while simultaneously arguing that fundamental change requires a revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist system.

The organization's political positions are closely aligned with those of the RKP. They advocate for the nationalization of key industries, greater worker control over the economy, and the establishment of a planned economy. On the international stage, the RKU expresses solidarity with revolutionary and anti-imperialist movements around the world.
