From the editorial board of The Communist.
The second plenary of RK’s first national congress decided that the union’s online organ will be
called Kommunisten (The Communist). The web address has been changed accordingly to www.kommunisten.no, but we will retain the domain maoisme.no for a transitional period.
The main reason for the name change is that we want a more serious profile for the online organ,
and a name that can be used for a long time to come. “The Communist”, in its definite form, is a name that would suit a newspaper just as well as a website.
The name change does not signal a turn away from Maoism. We emphasize that RK is still a
Maoist organization, and that the editorial content of the website will continue to express a Maoist line. However, we hope that the new name will make the website more interesting for readers in the communist movement who do not consider themselves Maoists.
