IGNITE
Template:TOCnestleft IGNITE is building itself as an intermediary organization for revolutionary youth in the city in relationship to the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, which is itself a revolutionary pre-party formation. We’re here copying the successes of all revolutionary movements which have built in urban areas organizational collectivity for the youth, which have always tended to be the most militant and advanced section of their communities. In Nepal – the Maoists had built the Young Communist League (YCL), in Chile the Communist Party leads the mass struggle of students and youth through their own YCL as well. An autonomous, but organizationally tied to communist, party youth collective has been over and over shown to be an important mechanicism in developing revolutionary movements.
- The reason we believe for this is the necessity of building a vanguard party in the model of a party of a new type. Whats this mean? We must build a political apparatus which can be a general staff in leading a broad and wide ranging attack against the state and can win for the people immediate conditions of space and freedom from the capitalist state and the bourgeois ownership of the means of production. A party which can give line of direction in mass struggle through mass organizations such as Trade Unions, Workers’ Centers, Anti-Police Committees, Student Unions, and Oppressed Nationality Movements.
IGNITE is a communist youth league formed in New York City at the beginning of 2011. Our collective was formed on the basis of producing Communist practice, theory, and culture amongst the proletarian youth throughout the city and to help in building organizations of class struggle, to wage class war by making revolution.[1]
IGNITE is the Maoist faction within the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.[2]
