Frontline was the biweekly newspaper of the Frontline Political Organization.

About

The newspaper described itself thusly:

Frontline is published in order to popularize a Marxist-Leninist perspective within U.S. political life. Its editorial policy is based on the assessment that the interests of the U.S. working class lie in peace, equality and socialism, further that the key to building a united working class movement that can achieve these goals is unbending opposition to war and racism. Building a United Front Against War and Racism, then, is central to Frontline's political perspective.

Frontline (SNN-0738-4769) is published 21 times a year by Line of March Publications, a project of the Institute for Social and Economic Studies. The Institute is a non-profit, educational foundation and contributions are tax-deductible."

The address for Frontline was: P.O. Box 2809, Oakland, CA., 94609, telephone (415) 843-7495.

Frontline came out of a marxist proto-organization known as Line of March, named after Mao Tse-tung's long retreat from the Kuomintang forces of Gen. Chiang Kai-shek during the Chinese civil war of the 1930's (and 40's). It was founded in 1983 and lasted till the early 1990's. Many of its personnel came from the old weekly maoist-oriented "The Guardian" that when into decline in the 1990', but had suffered deep splits within its staff over funding from Red China, its line of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia as versus supporting the North Vietnamese, and other ideological editorial policies. The old-line Moscow supporters from the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) faction that actually helped to found the original National Guardian and then went on to support the successor Guardian, either died off or left due to age or ideological disagreements with the Maoist faction led by Irwin Silber and Max Elbaum, among others.
