The Marxist–Leninist Party, USA (''MLP'') was the final incarnation of a series of communist anti-revisionist groups that began in 1967 lasted until 1993 when it dissolved. It published the paper ''Workers Advocate''. During its history, it became a Hoxhaist group, before turning away from backing Albania and attempting to advance a distinctive anti-revisionist trend in Marxism–Leninism. It was founded as the ''American Communist Workers Movement (Marxist–Leninist)'' in the 1960s as a Maoist organization allied with the Canadian Communist Party of Canada (Marxist–Leninist), CPC (M-L). == History == The groups origins lay in a small, predominantly African American, group founded in early 1967 called Cleveland Draft Resistance Union.〔Vietnam War, The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, http://ech.cwru.edu/ech-cgi/article.pl?id=VW〕 In 1968 they reorganized as the Workers Action Committee〔American Communist Workers’ Movement (Marxist-Leninist), http://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-1/#acwm〕 and broadened their focus from anti-war activities to community organizing, strike support, and the study of Marxism. They embraced Maoism and developed a close relationship with the Canadian Communist Movement (Marxist-Leninist) led by Hardial Bains.〔Maoism in the Developed World by Robert Jackson Alexander〕〔American Communist Workers’ Movement (Marxist-Leninist), http://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-1/#acwm〕 In May 1968 the WAC attended the "North American Conference of Anti-Imperialist Youth" during which it reorganized again as the American Communist Workers' Movement (Marxist-Leninist). The ACWM emulated some of the strategy expounded by Communist Party of Canada (Marxist–Leninist) leader Hardial Bains, including attempting to launch a daily newspaper. This experiment - the only Maoist daily ever published in the United States - was the ''People's America Daily News'' which lasted for 77 issues.〔American Communist Workers’ Movement (Marxist-Leninist), http://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-1/#acwm〕 In about 1973 the group was renamed the ''Central Organization of US Marxist–Leninists'' 〔Maoism in the Developed World by Robert Jackson Alexander〕〔Central Organization of U.S. Marxist-Leninists Formed!, Encyclopedia of Anti-Revisionism On-Line, https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-2/cousml-2.htm〕 and militantly opposed the police and fascism, as well as socialists and communists they considered "revisionist". The group continued to move with the CPC (M-L) from Maoism to Hoxhaism 〔The New Communist Movement: Crises, Splits and More New Parties, 1977-1980, Encyclopedia of Anti-Revisionism On-Line, http://www.marxistsfr.org/history/erol/ncm-5/index.htm〕 until in 1980 they adopted the name ''Marxist–Leninist Party USA'' and split with the Canadian group the following year, with those remaining loyal to the CPC (M-L) becoming the U.S. Marxist-Leninist Organization. The break with the CPC (M-L) led to the MLP beginning a reassessment of its politics, partially in an attempt to draw other anti-revisionists towards it, as many groups claiming anti-revisionism were moving to the right-wing. By the late 1980s the MLP had come to the conclusion that anti-revisionism meant that they had to reject the traditional support of the communist movement's positions from the time of the 1935 Congress of the Comintern onwards. This decision, however, led to an ideological impasse in the MLP, and at its fifth Congress in November 1993 it voted to dissolve itself.〔In These Times, 21 March 1994, "Nothing To Be Done" (Available online at http://www.mclemee.com/id21.html)〕 A number of activists in the MLP have continued work as the Communist Voice Organization. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marxist–Leninist Party, USA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
