I talked with a LRNA comrade, and have a comrade who has worked with them
indepedantly. LRNA was originally the Communist Labor Party, then the
National Organizaing Committee. A very basic statement of what they seem
to be about is: what we've been doing up till now hasn't worked, let's try
something else. 

They appear to be non-vanguardist, and committed to working with anyone
who is progressive. Their paper regularly includes articles by non-LRNA
people, such as Leslie Marmon Silko, etc. At a glance, I would say they
are like a Maoist Solidarity, but I'm sure its more complex than that.
