History
Born in Prince Edward Island, Malcolm Bruce became an early member of the Canadian Socialist Party. Dissatisfied with what he believed to be the Socialists' laxness in revolutionary ideology, he co-founded the Revolutionary Worker's Party. Jailed for his association with an American criminal and then living in the Soviet Union as a Communist, Bruce later returned to Canada.
