Labour Palingenesis is the thought advocated for by many 
Marxist and 
Democratic socialist groups on the periphery of the 
British Labour Party. It usually aligns itself with the 
Corbynite wing of the party, yet some consider themselves 
to the left of Corbyn. It's goal is to return the party to some perceived past version of itself, either from 2015-2020 while it was under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, or further back to it's 
Socialist roots
.
History
The concept of Labour Palingenesis has existed for some time, if not subconsciously. Due to it's inexistence, it is very hard to pin it to a specific time or person, but the best estimate I can make is that Labour Palingenesis emerged namelessly as a concept with the rise of 
Tony Benn and the Campaign group, that emerged from Party Leader 
Neil Kinnock's attempts to purge the 
Trotskyist Militant Tendency from the party. Militant were accused, and later found guilty of Entryism. After Benn's defeat in the deputy leadership election to moderate candidate 
Dennis Healey, Benn largely retired from attempts to take over the party, settling as an agitator against John Smith and later 
Tony Blair.
After the Blair and later 
Brown Cabinets, and the death of Tony Benn in 2014, many in the Labour party felt that a change in leadership was needed. After a disastrous election result from File:EdMilliband.png that left 
David Cameron with a Parliamentary majority, Milliband resigned, triggering a leadership election.
