The struggle to build a new, anti-revisionist communist party continued to guide the efforts of many groups in the New Communist Movement in the years 1975-1977. In 1975, two years after the National Liaison Committee (NLC) which it had initiated collapsed amid mutual recriminations, the Revolutionary Union, together with a few allied organizations, formed the Revolutionary Communist Party.
In November of the same year, the October League (OL) launched its own party building initiative with the goal of holding a founding convention within the year (in fact, the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) would not become a reality until 1977). As part of this effort, the OL creates a youth group, the Communist Youth Organization, and a mass organization, the National Fight Back Organization, to further broaden its base. Later, in 1976, OL converts is monthly newspaper, The Call, into a weekly.
The fall of 1975 also saw the birth of a short-lived party building initiative which called itself the “Revolutionary Wing,” or the “wing,” for short. The “wing” consisted of four groups: the Puerto Rican Revolutionary Workers Organization; the Revolutionary Workers League (RWL), a predominantly Black communist group that arose from the Youth Organization for Black Unity and the African Liberation Support Committee; the Workers Viewpoint Organization (WVO), a predominantly East Coast Asian organization; and the August 29th Movement (ATM), a predominantly Chicano organization based in California, New Mexico and Colorado. The “wing” did not hold together long – by March 1976 it had split apart, with WVO and ATM departing and PRRWO and the RWL undergoing a number of splits and purges, before announcing their intention to form a “U.S. Bolshevik Party.”
This inability to unite plagued other elements of the new communist movement in these years. Earlier in 1975, the Black Workers Congress split into four groups: the Revolutionary Workers Congress, the Revolutionary Bloc, the Workers Congress, and the Marxist-Leninist Organizing Committee (MLOC).
More significant for the future of the New Communist Movement, however, was the breach within its ranks opened up by changes in Chinese foreign policy. The practical consequences of China’s “theory of three worlds” became apparent in 1975 as China openly backs the FNLA and UNITA against the MPLA in the Angolan civil war. China’s stand dismayed many on the left who saw the MPLA as the legitimate leader of the Angolan liberation struggle rather than the South African and CIA-backed groups of UNITA and the FNLA. In 1976, sparked by the Angola controversy, the Guardian inaugurated a debate on China’s foreign policy and its line that the “Soviet Union was the more dangerous of the two superpowers” which opened a space within the New Communist Movement for voices openly critical of China’s line to be heard.
The death of Mao Zedong in September 1976 and the subsequent defeat of the “Gang of Four” marked the end of an era in China and raised new questions about the meaning of “Mao Zedong thought” and its relevance to the U.S. left. Increasingly, the resulting debates and polemics began to speak to a wider set of questions and problems which would call into question many of the assumptions upon which the New Communist Movement had been built.

The October League (OL) took its party-building efforts into high gear in November 1975, after the formation of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), led by its political rival, the Revolutionary Union. The polemical battle between RU and OL played a big role in setting the terms for the New Communist Movement’s understanding of party building. Both groups used the arguments of Lenin’s “What Is To Be Done?” on the need to draw “lines of demarcation” among communists to shape the future party’s political line and orientation – each side presented itself as the latter-day Bolsheviks.
In the period preceding the formation of the RCP, the OL initially had set its stance toward party building as one such demarcation. OL was the first to declare party building as the “central task,” while RU argued that such a position was premature until a revolutionary workers movement could be developed. Both RU and OL grew rapidly in the early 1970s, and in 1974 the RU concluded that the time to form a party had finally come. This led to sharper polemics against the OL, which now sought to distinguish itself from RU as both less sectarian and more consistently in line with China and anti-revisionist orthodoxy.
As many independent activists with an anti-revisionist orientation, including both individuals and multi-city and local groups, had become estranged from the RCP, the OL focused on bringing them into its party-formation campaign. To a certain extent, OL won adherents because of the manner in which it differed ideologically with the RCP: its more open stance toward reform movements, its support for the Boston school integration struggle, etc.
However, OL made a sharp turn in late 1975, its contention with RU having moved to the background with the formation of the RCP. Political differences with one of the OL’s leaders, the noted theoretician Martin Nicolaus, led to a full-fledged “anti-rightist” ideological campaign aimed at the members. Internal discussion was reined in.
Meanwhile, in the field, the OL became hostile to campaigns and coalitions that included the CPUSA, targeted liberals and reformists as the “main danger” in mass movements, and began to shift its international line to opposing the USSR over the US. This came as the US-China anti-Soviet alliance became a major factor in world affairs.
In July 1976, the OL announced the formation of an Organizing Committee for a Marxist-Leninist Party to further its party-building campaign, but this only further estranged other groups. After a fierce effort to build the Committee’s membership and promote discussion with some independent groups, the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) (CPML) was formed in 1977, but no other national formations in the New Communist Movement chose to join. The following year, I Wor Kuen and the August 29th Movement, formerly of the “Revolutionary Wing,” merged to form the League of Revolutionary Struggle, essentially in opposition to the CPML’s claim to vanguard status.

In May 1976, the Guardian newspaper opened its pages to a discussion on China’s foreign policy (although Executive Editor Irwin Silber had been writing critical columns on the subjects since at least December 1975). This decision was primarily sparked by China’s stand on the Angola civil war. Here China and almost all the main anti-revisionist groups in the U.S. and around the world backed the FNLA and UNITA, which were also supported by the U.S., South Africa and Zaire, against the MPLA which had the support of the USSR and Cuba.
Prior to this point, the Guardian had generally approved of the positions taken by the Chinese government on international affairs. In this regard, it was part of a broader Pro-China current on the US left, which included the editors of the journal Monthly Review editors, Wilfred Burchett, Felix Greene, Annette Rubinstein, Shirley Graham DuBois, Han Suyin, and Anna Louise Strong. The Guardian had made a special effort to bring to the attention of the broad U.S. left events in China and favorable coverage of Chinese foreign policy.
Now, however, the Guardian argued that China’s Angola stand as an error: wrong on the nature of the national liberation struggle in Angola, a reflection a miss-assessment of the international situation, and the beginning of a Chinese de facto alliance with the United States against the Soviet Union, now perceived as the “more dangerous” of the two super-powers. But the Guardian did more than just criticize the Chinese; it also criticized New Communist Movement supporters of the Chinese position for “flunkeyism” and “class collaboration.”
Not content to simply present the paper’s position in print, Silber also went on a national speaking tour focusing on the issue of the international line of the U.S. left. The Guardian’s ability to take an openly critical stand on this issue was facilitated by the break, earlier in the year, between the Guardian and the October League (Marxist-Leninist) which resulted in the resignations of OL members – Renee Blakkan, Martin Nicolaus, Nancy Nikcevich and Rod Such – and the subsequent departure of Carl Davidson, who was also close to the October League at the time.
The Guardian’s new stand was severely criticized by much of the New Communist Movement which charged that it represented a “centrist” position that conciliated with modern revisionism and Soviet social imperialism. However, the willingness of the Guardian to openly criticize Chinese policy and the relationship between leading New Communist Movement groups and China, freed a number of smaller anti-revisionist organizations to begin to rethink other elements of anti-revisionist orthodoxy as well.

The Congress of Afrikan People (CAP) had its roots in the Black Arts movement in Newark, New Jersey in the mid-1960s, largely through the efforts of Amiri Baraka. By the late-1960s, under the influence of Malcolm X, Ron Karenga’s US organization and the example of the Black Panthers, the CAP became an explicitly political, Black nationalist organization, with a focus of community organizing and cultural politics. In 1970, at its Atlanta Convention, CAP became a national organization dedicated to building a Black Political Party, including involvement in electoral politics.
In the early 1970s, a growing struggle developed within the CAP between the Black nationalists and the emerging Marxist-Leninist forces, headed by Baraka. With the departure of Haki Madhubuti and Jitu Weusi, the Marxist-Leninist tendency in the organization was strengthened and in 1974-75, CAP took up the study of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse Tung Thought and, for a brief period, worked closely with the October League (Marxist-Leninist).
In February, 1976 the organization changed its name to the Revolutionary Communist League (M-L-M). Three years later, the group merged with the League of Revolutionary Struggle (Marxist-Leninist), which had been formed in 1978 through a merger between I Wor Kuen and the August 29th Movement.

The Black Women’s United Front (BWUF) was a pioneering initiative to raise consciousness within Black radical organizations and the broader left about black women’s intersecting oppression. Sponsored by activists from a number of New Communist Movement organizations, it sought to promote the unification of Black working class women to play a leading role in the Black Liberation Movement and ultimately, to create a revolutionary multi-national women’s front “aimed at the destruction of monopoly capitalism.”
The idea for the initiative was germinated at an All-Afrikan Women’s Conference in Newark, New Jersey in July 1974 organized by the Congress of Afrikan People (CAP), which brought together several hundred participants. By the end of the conference, as Ashley Farmer explains: “attendees were in “unanimous agreement that [they] should put forth an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti- neo-colonialist position.“ This became the ideological and organizational basis of the BWUF.”
The founding conference of the BWUF was held in Detroit on January 25-26, 1975. Some 650 activists were in attendance, including people from CAP, the Black Workers Congress, the October League (M-L), the Youth Organization for Black Unity (YOBU), and the National Welfare Rights Organization. The conference resolved to form a broad united front “rooted in the working masses of women” and dedicated to the “abolition of every possibility of oppression & exploitation.”
Local chapters of the BWUF carried out activities on a variety of issues including welfare rights, employment and defense of Black women political prisoners such as Joan Little, Dessie X. Woods and Cheryl S. Todd. According to Farmer, they were also urged to “carry on political education to raise the consciousness of women within the Black Liberation Movement” by “hold[ing] forums to wage ideological discussion and struggle”, [and] “build[ing] coalitions with other groups involved in the struggle aimed at the destruction of the system.” As part of the latter effort, the BWUF organized a conference on International Women’s Day 1975 in New York City with the goal of advancing the project of a Revolutionary Multi-National Women’s front.
Unfortunately, like a number of similar initiatives of the New Communist Movement in this period, the BWUF’s ability to develop into a broader formation was fatally undermined by its becoming entangled in the sectarian party-building priorities of participating Marxist-Leninists. This problem can be seen in an article on the multi-national women’s conference in the CAP newspaper, Unity & Struggle, which states:
The Multi-National Woman’s Conference is a…. move toward building the Marxist-Leninist Party in this country that is needed at this time in the face of rising contradictions and a heightening of the degree of preparedness of the working class with only revisionists, petty-bourgeois splitters and other various opportunists calling themselves parties. What is needed is a genuine Marxist-Leninist Party…This conference is a step in building this new party…“

The Revolutionary Wing was a short-lived party building initiative which began in the fall of 1975. The name was derived from a claim that there were two “wings” of the U.S. communist movement, one opportunist, and one revolutionary. The Revolutionary Wing was formed in November 1975 when the August 29th Movement (ATM) and the Puerto Rican Revolutionary Workers Organization (PRRWO) proposed to the Workers Viewpoint Organization (WVO) the formation of a joint Party Building Commission (PBC). The basis of unity of the proposed commission was seven points:
(1) Party Building is the central task of communists.
(2) Political line is the key link.
(3) Right opportunism is the main danger in the workers and communist movements.
(4) Marxist-Leninists unite.
(5) Win the advanced to communism.
(6) Factory nuclei are the basic form of organization.
(7) The right of self-determination for the Afro-American nation.
In addition, the PBC was to carry out joint theoretical work around party building, the domestic situation, the national question, trade union work, the international situation, the history of the communist and workers’ movements in the U.S., and on the program of the party. The PBC was also to organize joint political education for the organizations and joint leadership training conferences.
The formation of the Wing led to a series of joint forums around the country on the issue of party building conducted by PRRWO, ATM and WVO, joined by several additional groups, namely the Revolutionary Workers League (RWL) and another somewhat mysterious group which claimed origins in the Black Workers Congress – the Revolutionary Bloc (although Resistencia Puertorriqueña questioned its existence). At one time, PRRWO asserted that there were also other “honest” elements close to the Revolutionary Wing. These were listed as Resistencia Puertorriqueña and El Comité.
The Revolutionary Wing did not hold together long. By March 1976 it had fallen apart: WVO and ATM departed amid bitter recriminations, with WVO taking a significant number of RWL cadre with it. Resistencia Puertorriqueña and El Comité refused to join. The Revolutionary Bloc, if it ever in fact existed, disappeared. Meanwhile PRRWO and the RWL drew closer together while, at the same time, undergoing a series of violent internal splits and purges, before the greatly reduced remnants officially merged as the Leninist Core of the Revolutionary Wing and announced their intention of forming a “U.S. Bolshevik Party.”

Early in 1975 the Black Workers Congress underwent a serious split, resulting in the demise of that organization. Out of the collapse, four groups seem to have emerged: the Workers Congress (Marxist-Leninist), the Revolutionary Workers Congress, the Marxist-Leninist Organizing Committee and the Revolutionary Bloc.
The Revolutionary Workers Congress, which was the name the former leadership of the BWC adopted for their group after the split, briefly issuing a newspaper called Movin’ On! In late 1977, the organization dissolved, with some of its members joining the Revolutionary Communist Party.
The Workers Congress (Marxist-Leninist), centered in Detroit, played an active part in national party-building debates, putting forward the Iskra principle as its party-building program through its newspaper The Communist. A number of smaller groups and collectives around the country participated in this effort, submitting articles for publication in the paper. In 1976, the Workers Congress underwent a split, centered in the New York District. This resulted in the formation of Red Dawn
The Marxist-Leninist Organizing Committee, based in San Francisco also threw itself into the party building process. Initially, it distinguished itself from other groups by declaring that “the theoretical form of class struggle” was “the chief form of class struggle in this period,” calling for joint theoretical work with other communist organizations and as well as collaboration maintaining, deepening and broadening work within the spontaneous mass movements. It published a theoretical journal Communist Line and a newspaper Unite! In 1978, the MLOC became the Communist Party USA (Marxist-Leninist).
The Revolutionary Bloc was another former faction in the BWC. While briefly touted by the Puerto Rican Revolutionary Workers Organization and the Revolutionary Workers League as a component of the Revolutionary Wing, its post-BWC existence is somewhat mysterious. It appears to have issued only one document – a resignation from the BWC – and Resistencia Puertorriqueña even questioned its existence, post-BWC.

In early 1977 ABC broadcast the ’Roots’ mini-series based on Alex Haley’s book about his family history, from Africa, through slavery and in the post-slavery years. The mini-series was watched by an estimated 140 million viewers total (more than half of the U.S. 1977 population) – the largest viewership for any type of television series in US history.
’Roots’ drew the critical attention of US Marxist-Leninists, in particular the October League (M-L) and the Revolutionary Communist Party, which exchanged sharp polemics over their different interpretations of its significance. The wider debate touched not only on African-American history and the freedom struggle, but broader questions of racism and anti-racism in the mass media, and how Marxist-Leninists should analyze popular culture, literature and art.
