History In the early 1920s a group of young militants of the Social Democratic Party (Iceland), Social Democratic Party (''Alþýðuflokkur'') came into contact with the international communist movement. Their ideology, and that of their party leader, was quickly growing apart. The communists formed a radical section within the party which they called the "Association of Young Communists" (''Félag ungra kommúnista'') in November 1922. The group evolved into the "Sparta Social Democratic Association" (''Jafnaðarmannafélagið Sparta'') in 1926, but they eventually left the social democrats to form their own party as suggested by Comintern in 1928. The Communist Party of Iceland (KFI) was formed in November 1930 and became a member of Comintern. KFI published ''Verkalýðsblaðið''.
