Stuart MacIntyre joined the Communist Party of Australia “as a young historian” in 1971. Shortly after joining the CPA, he left Australia to work on his Ph.D. at Cambridge University, where he also joined the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB). When he returned to Australia in 1980, he did not re-join the CPA. Rather, he joined the ALP and its Socialist Left faction. Reportedly, he declined to re-join the CPA since it was an organisation “visibly in decline”. However, he found political discussions in the Socialist Left “abysmal”.[1]
