DeVa consisted of Suomen Kommunistinen Puolue (yhtenäisyys) (Communist Party of Finland (Unity), Vallankumouksellinen Nuorisoliitto (Revolutionary Youth League), Sosialistinen Työväenpuolue (Socialist Workers Party) and the Socialist Students League.

In 1990 DeVa disintegrated, and many members joined Vasemmistoliitto (Left Alliance).
