He has been a member of the legendary folk group Schooner Fare since 1975 and still performs with them on a limited basis. In 1992, Tom formed a duo with his eldest son Dave. They called themselves Rowe by Rowe and were joined in 1998 by Tom's high school pal Denny Breau to form Turkey Hollow. Tom has recorded 13 albums with Schooner Fare; a solo effort in 1991 titled Whistle Up a Storm; Rowe by Rowe with Dave in 1997; and now two albums with Turkey Hollow . He has written many of Schooner Fare's popular songs as well as songs for Rowe by Rowe and Turkey Hollow.

The Progressive Labor Party began as an 'anti-revisonist' split from the American so-called Communist Party in the late 1950s and after having been for a while an orthodox maoist party, in the 1970s began making a continuous series of apparent ruptures with leftism. Today's PLP does not, on the grounds that US imperialism is the Chief Enemy, support the Iraqi or Serbian governments. Nor does the PLP agree with the psuedo-anarchist Chomsky and tell its audience in the US to vote in elections (for Democrats of course, because Republicans are reactionaries). By 1971 the PLP was implicitly denouncing Mao Zedong as a counter-revolutionary. To date, it has broken with not only with nationalism, reformism, and united-frontism, but also with what it calls 'socialism'. The PLP now 'fights directly for communism'.

It was agreed that the basic structure of NEFAC would consist of a membership based on active collectives, affinity groups and individuals from the region who identify with the communist tradition within anarchism. The activity of the federation will be organized around three poles: study and theoretical development; anarchist agitation and propaganda; and intervention within the class struggle.


Overall, the federation is not intended to act as a mass organization in itself, but rather as a militant anarchist minority working within existing social movements and popular struggles in an effort to radicalize them, while simultaneously furthering a specifically communist perspective within the general anarchist movement.
