Revolutionary Communist Party
So I recently saw a newspaper stand in a town near me, they were there on a recruitment drive too. So I figured fuck it, and joined up. Yesterday I went to their weekly meeting.
Leftist organising is rare around here and at the very least I need a foot in the door.
This Trotskyist party splintered off from the Labour party after Kier Starmer ousted Jeremy Corbyn and started cracking down on the leftist side of the party. So they've branched out on their own and are currently recruiting like crazy. I'm swept up in this now.
They have an event in November called the Revolutionary Festival that is hosting 3 days of multiple overlapping talks ranging from US imperialism, Dialectical Materialism, Fascism and how to fight it, Bangladesh revolution and the Arab spring histories, World War 1 and it's radicalising effect on soldiers, History of the Labour party, Art and revolution, Ai and Consciousness and a bunch of others.
I'm going to go to it for at least one of the days I think, mostly for networking and learning more about them.
On Reddit they seem to be very divisive among leftist circles for being empirically anti Stalin and for seeming to be well funded. I know now that they reject donors and fund themselves from members and after going to and sitting in on a local branch meeting yesterday I have a better idea of who these guys are and what they're about.
Mostly consisting of University students and student union members but not entirely; the group focuses on theory and education above most else. Importantly they seem to understand that Post Revolution and Societal Building is as important as the vague concept of Revolution itself. A breathe of fresh air from the typical leftist group. ("Uh so now what" mentality when the revolution is successful).
I'll come back to this post soon, after the November "festival" and see if there's anything to add or change.
But so far I'm not seeing many red flags and am quite glad to see a well organised Communist group.

COMMUNIST VS CONSERVATIVE. Ben (National Secretary of the Revolutionary Communist Party) explains in a live debate with a Tory MP on gbnews why he's more concerned with MPs' support for genocide than their hurt feelings.

Amber Alert: Russia is Kidnapping Ukrainian Children rally - 02.04.2023 by Strannik45 Via Flickr: More photos here
The rally was organized by Chicago's Ukrainian community to bring attention to the issue that earned Russian President Vladimir Putin an arrest warrant - what Russia has been doing in Ukrainian kids in the occupied territories.
As with many things happening in the Ukrainian War, there are several things going on. First, Russian forces have been taking kids that were orphaned (or whose next of kin couldn't be found right away, or whose next of kin aren't in the occupied territories) and sending them to Russia to be adopted. And, if there is any question about the ultimate goal of this, Russian government recently gave grants to "help children embrace to their new homeland."
There is also the part where several kids in occupied areas (mostly Kherson Oblast) who were taken to summer camps in Russia, and when the territories were liberated, Russians weren't exactly willing to give those kids back. And families have no way of getting in touch with them. And if that sounds like a nightmare - congratulations, you have a conscience.
The rally was scheduled to kick off at the Old Water Tower, then proceed down Michigan Avenue toward Millennium Park, culminating at the Cloud Gate/the Bean. Now, what I don't think the organizers realized was that the Revolutionary Communist Party was going to have a rally at the northwest corner of the Millennium Park, also at 2:00 PM. It was on my radar, but I wasn't sure, given the timing, if the twain shall meet.
Well, RevComm noticed them as they were arriving, and decided to preach their mission of how everyone should stop the "US/NATO Proxy War." I'm not entirely sure if they got to other parts of their spiel, like that Maidan protests were a NATO scheme, that NATO expansion provoked Putin and, oh, that Russia hasn't been Communist since 1950s and that Stalin was a communist "who made a lot of mistakes." But, suffice to say, the Ukrainians were not amused. Chants of "Commies Go Home" got thrown around.
Still, given the vast disparity in numbers, the communists did ultimately leave, and the rally was finished as planned.

As things become more tense between the US, Europe and NATO, and Russia and China, it is inescapable the modern United States is a Fascist Kleptocracy using Managed Democracy to create an illusion of legitimacy.
Though we may not have much strength now, Communist groups should plan for the possibility of War. And within that context, consider how we could step up to provide support for dissenting communities who don't wish to be drafted to their deaths.
By involving ourselves and earning our communities' trust through various underground programs, in such a time of crisis, we could rapidly grow our numbers and educate workers to Imperialist and Marxist theory.
From there we could organize Patriotic Resistance Groups to sabotage the Fascist war machine from within and weaken the state through demoralization.
The conditions for change are nowhere near ready for Socialism anywhere in the West. But if we are prepared to take action before a major crisis hits, we stand a chance of creating those conditions ourselves.

finally reading dance of days (thank you ohiolink and oberlin college <3) but my most consistent takeaway thus far. is oh my god. people who think punk is primarily ideological and not subcultural/musical. are so out of touch.
#three thought threads excuse it but okay.#first as much as dc punk was not political for much of its history (revolution summer/positive force nonwithstanding im talking oldschool)#i do think the structure of diy and creating an alternative subculture economy is more radical than. making an antireagan song lmao.#even if i think the result was a bit of a failure. the intention was significant! imagine a world where artists do not have to contort#themselves to majors and can be supported by an alternate network of payment and such. would be nice if the arbitrary ideas#of like 5 dollar shows and zero pr and not fighting for what your worth didnt infest that ideology but whateves#okay then also. what the fuck how did i not know the bad brains homophobia was that bad. anyway.#third thread. hilarious that dc punks were.. hesitant to work with positive force bc of its association with revolutionary communist party#lol lmao even. now that im sufficently deep into these tags i can say what all this made me think of which is that#oh my god mcr is a punk band. well theyre more than a punk band but they unequivically came up in punk. they are based in punk. their first#lbum is a posthardcore record without question. in the context of punk as a MUSICAL SUBGENRE mcr is under that umbrella#more than they are Most Other Things#mcr is punk in the outsider-opposition sense which was as defined as some poltics were for a lot of early bands#and shit like black flag which my chem drew on was not textually very political at all it was a subcultural thing#equal opposite force to The Establishment. charting your own path even if it meant fighting for it#obv though black parade barely qualifies as a punk record it was an evolution for them#(and a really interesting zigzag since many of its influences are 70s rock- the very thing og punk was reacting against!#but which now represented a past oldschool rocknroll (esp with glam))#anyyyway#my posts

It's through intelligence work that the party becomes capable of leadership. What good are we to anyone if we know nothing and have no plans?

WVO Drinks lts Own Poison-Calls Jim Jones a "Victim Gone Wrong" (1979)
The following was written in a Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) newspaper, “Revolution,” before their ideology degraded into the “New Synthesis” and spiraled into a personality cult surrounding Bob Avakian. This excerpt is from a larger article criticizing the Workers' Viewpoint Organization, which later became the Communist Workers' Party, a “communist” party that upheld post-Mao China as socialism.
WVO's line on China is a most blatant example of this rightism too. They will not come out publicly and denounce the revisionist leadership and uphold the four comrades, the "Gang of Four." Publicly, they uphold China as "still a socialist country." And that's it.
But even more sinister is the fact that to particular lucky individuals classified by them as "advanced and active," they will say that Hua and Teng are revisionists, they do think there was a coup d'etat, the Four were correct, even that Chou En-lai was the revisionists' back-up man.
Why is this? Because, at this time, the "advanced" are the only ones who can grasp this "demoralizing" situation without falling into cynicism and losing faith in the possibility of socialism working. Public exposure of revisionism, they say, will only fuel the bourgeoisie's propaganda, attacking the viability of socialism.
The logic of this quickly falls between your fingers like so much sand (more like quicksand). Because bourgeois propaganda is using the situation in China to tell us that socialism will never work, it must turn back to "pragmatism, down-to-earth capitalism," then our duty as communists is to cut through that with the knife of scientific analysis.
Which is exactly what the RCP has done, spreading the truth of the class struggle under socialism, how setbacks happen, how to arm ourselves against them, how to fight even harder for genuine Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and against revisionism, the "easy road," pragmatism, etc.
WVO would have the masses in the U.S. think that China is socialist (ignorance is bliss?). According to WVO, the masses won't be able to figure it out unless WVO tells them, so they're going to keep it under their hats for the right moment. This shocking depth of disdain for the masses brings us back to the People's Temple and WVO's characterization of Jim Jones.
Actually, Jones' disdain and manipulation of the People's Temple members and WVO's disdain for the working class and oppressed nationalities are very similar. The RCP's analysis of WVO in 1977 summed up, "The Religious Disorder of the Worker's Viewpoint Organization." And that's exactly what it is.
About Jones, WVO says, "Jones' brand of mysticism was misleading but not nearly as sinister as the Moonies or other crazy religions. These sects preach and openly support racism and fascism. For all its reformist practices, the People's Temple at least fights racists and fascists and attracts the support of the black and poor people. Many join because they see the group doing progressive things."
About the WVO, you could say the same thing: "For all its reformist practices, at least they're communists and they're fighting capitalism, and they attract the support of oppressed nationalities and students." BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHY THESE "CULTS," RELIGIOUS AND REVISIONIST ALIKE, ARE SO SICKENING AND SINISTER. They do attract, for a time, honest people who want to fight the system-then they lead them down a dead-end street.
WVO's following is not going to commit suicide, but the organization is swallowing its own dogmatic poison, more and more quickly in their flip to the right. The honest forces within, and there are many, if they really desire to struggle all their lives for living socialism and the final aim of communism, if they really strive to be ruthlessly scientific to fight the bourgeoisie, will gradually be won to the genuine party of the U.S. working class the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA.

In Pelotas, the comrades from CFCAM, PCB and UJC created the "Boca na Tribuna" act together with the 8M front to denounce systematic violence against women and make the date visible, pointing out that this violence is inherent to the capitalist-racist-patriarchal system. Let's go!
