OCE-BR was founded in 1970 as a split of the
PSUC by a sector of its youth wing. The original name was Communist Organization-Red Flag. In 1973 OCE-BR adopted its later name and expanded throughout all
Spain. The main goal of the organization was a democratic revolution against the
Francoist State, as the first step towards a full
socialist revolution. OCE-BR was legalized in late 1977. The same year the party suffered a split in
Catalonia. The splitters, led by
Joan Oms i Llohis, founded the
Communist Collective of Catalonia. In 1989 OCE-BR joined the
PSUC again, finally disappearing as an organization in 1994. ==References==
