[ABSTRAK Skripsi ini berfokus pada telaah pemikiran Njoto, salah satu pimpinan utama PKI, dalam kapasitasnya sebagai seorang politikus, publisis, dan pekerja budaya. Pemikirannya berkelindan pada konteks Indonesia periode 1951?1965. Melalui kajian skripsi ini penulis mencoba keluar dari penilaian apriori terhadap pemikiran kalangan kiri Indonesia. Skripsi ini juga bertujuan untuk melengkapi khazanah historiografi pemikiran periode 1950-an yang nisbi terbatas. Oleh karena itu, dalam proses penulisan skripsi ini penulis banyak memanfaatkan karya-karya Njoto selama kurun tersebut yang dipublikasikan dalam koran komunis, Harian Rakjat. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa akar dari pemikiran Njoto adalah keberpihakan politik kepada masyarakat kelas bawah. Tema besar dari gagasannya adalah tentang pembebasan rakyat dari ketertindasan. Gagasannya dalam taraf tertentu tidak orisinal, tetapi gagasannya dalam tiga domain tersebut saling bertaut sehingga mampu mendukung gerakan yang sinergis dan masif.
