Are New Left Media affiliated to any party? Anyone know anything about them?

The New Left is basically a term associated with the left which evolved out of the Frankfurt School and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. Its mostly non-partisan and organised in single-issue groups.

I'm talking about the group who call themselves "New Left Media" not the term in general.

From what I can tell they're not apart of any party or group. I don't know for sure though. I enjoy the videos though.

The New Left didn't really come out of the Frankfurt School, with the possible exception of Herbert Marcuse when he came to America, but he also underwent a big political shift when he became associated with the New Left. Nor was the New Left that associated with the Civil Rights Movement of Martin Luther King Jr. et. al.

The New Left is most commonly associated with US West Coast campus activism. Their politics were a confused anti-intellectual Maoist actionism with strong elements of identity politics. For instance, the women had their own struggle, the blacks had their own struggle, as did the students, and especially third-world movements, whom the New Left supported. Still living New Left people are usually infected with some variety of idealist liberalism.

It's just two college student journalists who call their organization "new left media." I don't think they are affiliated with any of the parties though they seem pretty progressive. I really enjoy their coverage.

What is considered the "New Left" differs from country to country. In England, the watershed moment for the formation of the New Left was the suppression of the Hungarian uprising and the intervention into the Suez Canal fiasco. In the US it came later.

Also, ID politics started to really take hold long after the New Left had formed, in the wake of the collapse of the social movements, and the New Left's inability to explain what was going on.
