Revolusjon,
>though I know little about their practical activity
Revolusjon is a small group with impressive activity and publication. They
have active cadre in some unions, railway workers for example. They are
very active in the No to the EU-movement.

I undrestand, I looked at the post when I had finished and thought: this
didn't prove my pint at all. My point is that in Norway you have, on the
left, these parties:
Socialdemocrats: DNA/Labour
Left socialdemocrats: SV
Revisionist communist party: NKP
Anti-revisionist, hohxaist tradition: Revolusjon
maoist tradition: AKP
Socialist election alliance: RV (in which both AKP and Revolusjon
participates)
In other countries, like Denmark, there are two parties from hoxhaist
tendency, two parties from moscow-revisionist tendency, two (three?) left
social democrats/'socialists'...

Yes... this is the biggie, isn't it... An example. These days, two former
members of the AKP and contemporary members of the RV are in the news
everyday. One is Rolf Utgård, who is union representative on the board of
directors in Kvaerner, and Eldar Myhre who is leader of the union at the
largest wharf in Stavanger, owned by Kvaerner. They fight against the
merger of Kvaerner and Aker, because they believe this will lead to
downsizing+++ On Aker Verdal, the union leader is a member of AKP (and RV)
of course, and he is positive to a merger... Because this might save his
members' jobs.
So: many union rep's are from RV/AKP, but it is difficult to say what this
means in political support other than being the 'best organizers'.
I'll come back to this later. In the mean time, there are some articles on
labour issues from the AKP available:
