Could you explain why they want to do this ?

Many communist parties in Western Europe have renamed themselves
in the last few years, partly in order to distance themselves
from Stalinism but also to get away from class politics.

In the UK the Labour Party is trying to relaunch itself as "New
Labour" , which is part of a massive shift to the right.

What sort of party would this new socialist party be ?

Would it be a Marxist party ?
Would it believe in reform or in revolution ?
