Communist Party of Sweden (Swedish: Sverges Kommunistiska Parti) was a political party in Sweden led by Zeth Höglund.[1] Höglund broke away from the main SKP in 1924, following disagreements concerning Comintern policies and functioning. He then set up his own SKP. Höglund's SKP had around 5,000 members, and published the newspaper Den Nya Politiken.
