Unity Organizing Committee

Template:TOCnestleft Unity Organizing Committee was the revisionist faction formed out of the 1990 split in the League of Revolutionary Struggle.

Split

In 1990 League of Revolutionary Struggle split, with one group ( including most of the Asian comrades) dropping Maoism, and maintaining control of Unity, becoming the Unity Organizing Committee. The other faction kept a more traditional outlook, becoming the Socialist Organizing Network, which later merged with Freedom Road Socialist Organization .
