Workers' Institute of Marxism–Leninism–Mao Zedong Thought
The Workers' Institute of Marxism–Leninism–Mao Zedong Thought (known as the Workers' Institute of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought until 1979) was a small Maoist political party based in Brixton, London. It was formed by Aravindan Balakrishnan in 1974 after his expulsion from the Communist Party of England (Marxist-Leninist).〔("Statements of the National Executive Committee, CPE (ML)" ), ''The Marxist-Leninist'', 1:1, September 1974, reprinted at marxists.org; Nick Cohen ("Cultists & communists – too close to us for comfort" ), ''The Spectator'' (blog), 25 November 2013〕〔("'Slave' house couple 'leaders of 1970s political cult'" ), Channel 4 News, 25 November 2013〕 The Workers' Institute began publishing the ''South London Workers' Bulletin'' from a south London squat,〔Jessica Elgot ("Lambeth 'Slavery' Suspects Aravindan Balakrishnan And Wife Chanda Were 'Radical Maoists'" ), ''The Huffington Post'', 25 November 2013〕 aiming to build a "red base" in Brixton and encourage the Chinese People's Liberation Army to liberate the area. This came to broader attention when the diarist in ''The Times'' in April 1977 reported some of the group's material as an amusing aside.〔For example, see 〕
The Workers' Institute claimed affiliation to the Communist Party of China. A document by the group issued in 1977 argued that the British population was moving in a "revolutionary direction".〔("Workers’ Institute Successfully Conducts Vigorous Programme to Uphold Chairman Mao's Revolutionary Line Amidst the Mass Upsurge In Britain – A Report" ), Workers’ Institute of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, 1977, reprinted on marxists.org〕 Balakrishnan prophesied that China’s People’s Liberation Army would have launched a revolutionary invasion of Britain by 1980.〔Cahal Milmo ("London 'slaves' case: The Maoist past of 'Comrade Bala' and his wife, the couple suspected of holding three women against their will" ), ''The Independent'', 25 November 2013〕 Their headquarters in Acre Lane, Brixton, known as the Mao Zedong Memorial Centre, opened in October 1976. "This new development", the 1977 document asserted, "has taken the British fascist state by storm".〔 The group's remaining members moved underground following a police raid on these premises in 1978. In 1982, Steve Rayner wrote a study of the organisation and critiqued its presentism.

Robert Griffiths, general secretary of the Communist Party of Britain, said of the group in November 2013 "If one were to be brutally honest they were more of psychiatric interest than political interest. They had nothing to do with the mainstream leftwing and communist politics of the day."〔
In 2013, the former leaders of the group were arrested as suspects in the Lambeth slavery case, allegedly being responsible for the enslavement and domestic abuse of three women.〔Martin Evans and Sam Marsden (【引用サイトリンク】work=Daily Telegraph )〕 Balakrishnan was charged with several offences on 11 December 2014. No further legal action is to be taken against his wife〔("Man charged in London 'slavery' inquiry" ), BBC News, 11 December 2014〕 The hearings for the case began in November 2015.
