There is not a group that is more committed to the mass line than FRSO.
Someone recently was saying they joined the DSA and couldn't support FRSO because they are a Maoist and the mass line is important to them and nowhere to be found in the FRSO. Reading FRSO material today and they talk about the mass line nonstop and reference Mao frequently. Am I missing something?

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Harpal Brar.
