Talk:New Communist movement

NCM --> Regroupment
The demise of Crossroads magazine By Louis Proyect. Crossroads was a post-NCM publication. The article discusses how different groups, including the NCM, reacted to political developments in the 1980s and 1990s.

The Crossroads magazine link suggests the need for an article on Regroupment and other 1990's developments. This was one of the hallmarks of the movement in its early and later stages. It remains a goal of Freedom Road Socialist Organization. DJ Silverfish 23:29, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * minor point, but should NCM be removed from the group "defunct political movements" as the RCP still exists and is carrying forward that legacy Peopleriseup (talk) 08:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Line of March
The NCM was a largely Maoist, and at least anti-revisionist, set of parties and pre-party organizations. Line of March was from its beginnings a pro-Soviet (or in the language of the NCM "revisionist") grouping. Despite the tailoring of their rhetoric towards the NCM, they were always hostile to the basic premise of anti-revisionism. Perhaps they can be added as a related organization.In the Stacks 15:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

"Maoism" and Mao Zedong Thought
At this point the article says that "most NCM organizations referred to themselves as Maoist."

This is not accurate. No organizations called themselves "Maoist" until after the New Communist Movement had collapsed. Until then organizations referred to their ideology as Marxism-Leninism or Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought. This is why groups had names like October League (Marxist-Leninist), Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist), I Wor Kuen (Marxist-Leninist), League of Revolutionary Struggle (Marxist-Leninist), Revolutionary Communist League (Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought), and so on.

The article should be changed to something like "most NCM organizations referred to their ideology as Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought."
