welcomed the CPGB (PCC). Similar socialist campaign groups include Campaign for a New Workers' Party and Convention of the Left. The campaign agreed three founding political principles at the founding conference: We are in favour of a planned, democratic socialist society and against the market. Socialism will be achieved in a single step when the working class seizes power over society, there are no intermediate "democratic" or other stages The Campaign is against the destructive incubus of Stalinism and will seek to make clear the counter revolutionary and anti-human nature of the Stalinist regimes and Parties. Stalinism was responsible for mass slaughter, brutal incarceration and the atomisation of the people of the countries under its control. In addition the Stalinists were responsible for the most cynical and costly betrayals of the working class everywhere from Germany to South Africa – no Party which has as its aim the liberation of humanity can do other than condemn the Stalinist current and seek to undo the damage done to Marxism by it. Its seven-member executive mainly consisted of members of the CPGB (PCC) and the Democratic Socialist Alliance criticised the party for its "hijacking" of the campaign. A group of members became known as the Trotskyist Tendency. The campaign published Marxist Voice. In November 2008, it was announced that the CPGB (PCC) would move to wind up the campaign at its December AGM. Having done so, it claimed it will establish a new committee to promote "unity of Marxists as Marxists". A minority of members objected to the dissolution of the campaign including in published articles by Dave Spencer, Phil Sharpe and Steve Freeman.

They accused the campaign's initial appeal of making "Keynesian platitudes" and called for a new formation on the left to have an explicitly Marxist programme.

In the run up to the Left Unity (LU) founding conference in November 2013, the CPGB (PCC) launched the Communist Platform in response to the Socialist Platform "[obscuring] the differences between Marxism and a left reading of clause four-type politics". They launched the Communist Platform as a permanent tendency
