communist movement. The FRSO actively maintains friendly relations with many Marxist–Leninist parties and organizations around the world, and participated in the annual International Communist Seminar. FRSO Congresses in the 2000s FRSO has held post-split organizational Congresses in 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2014, 2018 and in 2022. The Third Congress of the FRSO was in 2001, two years after the split. Delegates adopted a new version of the main Unity Statement, which explicitly identified Marxism–Leninism as the organization's political ideology. Previous iterations of the FRSO Unity Statement had not mentioned Marxism–Leninism by name, owing to the ideological divisions within the organization at the time. At the Fourth Congress in 2004, the FRSO produced a new unity statement laying out its line the national question in the U.S. In a statement released after the congress, the organization called this statement "a concluding step in placing our organization on a Marxist–Leninist basis", in contrast to the social-democratic-leaning ideologies embraced by the Left Refoundation group. In 2007, the FRSO held its Fifth Congress, which saw the adoption of the first part of the FRSO's organizational program. This document, "Class in the U.S. and Our Strategy for Revolution", outlines the various classes in the United States and the FRSO's general strategy for revolution. Unlike most communist parties and organizations, the FRSO has historically not had a political program. This document was released after the congress with the intention of integrating it into the final FRSO program upon its completion. The Fifth Congress also adopted and released "The Movement Against the War in Iraq: A New Period and Our Tasks", a document covering FRSO's approach to the antiwar movement under the George W. Bush administration and the U.S. occupation of Iraq. FRSO in the 2010s In the 2010s, the FRSO experienced sizable growth, fueled in large part by an influx of young workers and student activists. Over the decade, the organization cultivated a sustained mass organizing presence in the labor movement and the Black freedom movement, and further developed its presence in the student movement, particularly the SDS. The FRSO expanded geographically beyond its longtime Midwestern stronghold, establishing new districts in the South and southwest. All this growth took place in spite of a series of raids by the FBI on the FRSO and other leading antiwar activists at the start of the decade. The FRSO emerged from the 2010s as a leading force for victims
