The Johnson–Forest Tendency, whose supporters are called the Johnsonites, was a radical left tendency in the United States associated with the Marxist humanist theorists C. L. R. James and Raya Dunayevskaya, who used the pseudonyms "J. R. Johnson" and "Freddie Forest" respectively. They were joined by author/activist Grace Lee Boggs (pseudonym: "Ria Stone"), who was considered the third founder.
