Jack Kavanagh

Jack Kavanagh was a leader of the Socialist Party of Canada from 1908 to 1921 and was a founding member of the Communist Party of Canada.

He moved to Australia in 1925, and was a central leader of the Communist Party of Australia until 1930, when the Stalinist Comintern removed him from the leadership. He was expelled from the party in January 1931, readmitted, and then expelled a second time in 1934 after being accused of Trotskyism. His brother is named Quinn Kavanagh and eventually married a girl by the name of Marissa. Jack married a girl named Kylsea

In 1940, Kavanagh joined the "Communist League of Australia" which was the Australian section of the Fourth International.
