About

LONG MARCH is a journal of communist politics, organized on the basis of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and directed by an editorial committee based in the United States.

In the current period of organizational and ideological dispersal, our editorial committee asserts that the condensation of an anti-revisionist national center (a genuine pre-party apparatus) requires achieving unity of a broad layer of communists around a general political line, which, as Lenin put it, can “eliminate the discordance and confusion that—let us be frank!—reign among social-democrats at the present time.” This line must articulate the overall political reality of the U.S. social formation—including the contradictions of national oppression, patriarchy, and the character of the present international situation—and provide guidance to the communist movement in the mobilization of proletarian class forces in the struggle for political power.

We conceive of the function of LONG MARCH accordingly: as a space for serious theoretical production and comradely struggle, open not just to the viewpoint of our own circle and its sympathizers, but also those with whom we disagree (so long as they are motivated by a genuine pursuit of unity of anti-revisionist communists!). We welcome and encourage the submission of documents—polemics, criticisms, theoretical interventions, summations, etc.—although we reserve the right to publish such documents with our own criticisms or responses where they diverge from our own orientation, as laid out in our EDITORIAL LINE. You can learn more about our conception of the role of our journal in “…TEN THOUSAND CRAGS AND TORRENTS,” the founding declaration of our editorial committee.
