Parties and movements which emerged from the New Left in the U.S. include the [[Revolutionary Communist Party]], the [[Progressive Labor Party]], the political movement of [[Lyndon LaRouche]], [[Students for a Democratic Society]] (SDS), the [[Weather Underground]], the [[Youth International Party]], and several others. Judge [[Robert Bork]] observed, "The New Left is important because it is still with us in the guise of modern [[liberal]]ism. What was contained in the [SDS's] [[Students for a Democratic Society|Port Huron statement]], therefore, is a guide to today's cultural and political debacles."

A distinguishing feature of the New Left was a tendency to view the [[Third World]] as the "[[Revolutionary Vanguard|vanguard of the revolution]]", rather than the industrial working class of Europe and North America as the Old Left did.  Thus, the imagery and ideology of such Third World revolutionaries as [[Mao Zedong]] and [[Che Guevara]] were favored.  Another distinguishing feature of the New Left was a much greater emphasis on manifestations of cultural rebellion against mainstream society, particularly borrowing from the [[hippie]] movement, radical [[feminism]], and [[black nationalism]].  Again, was a sharp reaction against the Old Left which was culturally very staid and which saw counter-cultural movements as decadent and capitalistic.
