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.
