New Communist movement

The New Communist movement (NCM) was a diverse left-wing political movement during the 1970s and 1980s in the United States. The NCM were a movement of the New Left that represented a diverse grouping of Marxist–Leninists[1] and Maoists inspired by Cuban, Chinese, and Vietnamese revolutions.[2] This movement emphasized opposition to racism and sexism, solidarity with oppressed peoples of the third-world, and the establishment of socialism by popular revolution.[3] The movement, according to historian and NCM activist Max Elbaum, had an estimated 10,000 cadre members at its peak influence.[4]
