International Marxist Group was involved with publishing the Black Dwarf. “In March 1970… [the paper] suffered an editorial board split over questions of Leninism. A second newspaper was established, Red Mole, which Tariq Ali edited alongside an editorial board with an IMG majority. Red Mole was a “revolutionary internationalist” paper that carried a broad range of left-wing opinion in its pages, including a famous interview with John Lennon. Chenhanho Chimutengwende, a Zimbabwe exile who later served as a minister under Robert Mugabe, was one of the non-IMG members on the editorial board. IMG members also took part in New Left Review: Tariq Ali, Robin Blackburn, and Quintin Hoare were on its editorial board for much of the 1970s….” – Marxists Internet Archive. In May of 1973 the paper resumed publication as “The Red Weekly”.
