Morphology
revolutionary + Communist + league
The phrase combines transparent lexical items: 'revolutionary' (advocating radical change), 'Communist' (supporter of communism) and 'league' (an organized group), so a learner who knows those words will infer it denotes an organization of revolutionary communists. As a proper name the exact historical or militant nuances are not deducible, but the basic referent (a political organization) is directly derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Revolutionary Communist League was the name a small group chose after they split from a larger party in 1957. The word revolutionary shows they wanted big change ('to bring big social change'), communist shows their left-wing ideas, and league shows they acted as a tight group, so the name points to a small left-wing group willing to use strong action.
