May 19th Communist Organization
The May 19th Communist Organization derives its name from the birth-date of Ho Chi Minh and El Hajj Malik Shabazz/Malcolm X. Our principle task is supporting, both politically and with material
aid, the wars of national liberation, outside and within the borders of
the US.
The organization believes that the principal contradiction in the world today is between the national liberation struggles and US led imperialism. They were committed to the principles of Third World leadership, that armed struggle is the fundamental tool of oppressed people to win their liberation and that the revolutionary struggle for women's liberation is an integral part of the struggle against imperialism.
The May 19th Communist Organization was based in New York City.
