Welcome. also though they’re Maoist the Sojourner Truth Organization has some useful stuff for other types of leftist thought
The STO wasn’t Maoist?
They called themselves Leninists, but if you study their theories and their practice, they were Marxist autonomists who didn’t have a conception of what that was yet.
They were actively opposed to and challenged the shit politics of their Maoist contemporaries like the Revolutionary Union (which became the Revolutionary Communist Party) and the October League. Their paper, Black Worker/White Worker, actually gives a pretty damning critique of how the RU, which preached black liberation when they were in the margins of workplaces, would rapidly switch to the old white supremacist “black and white unite” politics that they thought could win them unionization drives with progressive unions like the United Electrical Workers.
Later in the 1970s they were actually involved in a project to build a national organization with a dozen other communist groups that could actually rival the outreach of the larger nationwide Maoist orgs like the RCP.
Sorry I meant Leninist, I haven’t been sleeping
