The Panthers and the Movement for Black Lives

The party was looking for different constituencies to organize in the left, and college campuses were seen as important. Their focus was really people experiencing economic precariety who were thought of as the most marginalized. So that vision of revisionis marxism moved away from traditional working class organizing. And this matters because it's also the origin of the party. It's in northern california with a recent migrant population that hadn't gone through this ocess of developing permanent jobs.
