| | Freedom Road Socialist Organization - They Wanted to Serve the People (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | I was drawn to the New Communist Movement because it helped me to understand the root cause of Chicano oppression, what Chicano Liberation could actually look like (i.e., self-determination), what social forces could actually achieve a revolution (the working class and U.S. national liberation struggles), and a socialist vision of an alternative society. |
 | | The movement also insisted that challenging the oppression of peoples of color lay at the heart of the revolutionary project, and that people of color movements—the Black freedom movement in particular—played a cutting-edge role in driving forward the democratic advance of society as a whole. |
 | | The New Communist Movement put the fight for equality at the center of its politics and devoted immense attention to analyzing the history, structures and pervasive impact of white supremacy. |
