[Rakhmetov]

These guys are still fighting for the people's rights! While we Americans lay back watching reality television.

most of that video is what happened in the early 90s.

It would appear that today's communist party in Russia is more about nationalism and praise for Stalin, two things that aren't grounded in revolutionary socialism. My impression has been that the current Party is more concerned about reviving the 'ole USSR than socialism...

Anybody in Russia that may be a part of the Party? If so, I'd like to know what they think of my statement.

A CPRF member would be restricted pretty much immediately on this site.

Why? :confused:

[Rusty Shackleford]

because the CPRF is pretty much like the CPUSA

[Obs]

because the CPRF is pretty much like the CPUSA
If the CPUSA was a violent ultra-nationalist organisation.

though that was great come back, i think the issue is that the leadership is reformist like the CP-USA

membership is quite different though.

CPRF seems to be full of fascists, with well meaning communists who are being duped
CP-USA seems to have well meaning communists who have been duped.

LOL at minute 1:05 is a hooligan fight, which has nothing to do with politics.

What other events have they been in, and who have they worked with?

And lol @ bourgeois media:


The group entered on to the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World) scene by being the indirect subject of a November 2005 ZMag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_Communications) article dealing with the annual November 7 demonstration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonstration_%28people%29) commemorating the anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolshevik_Revolution), and also addressing the civil unrest in France (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_civil_unrest_in_France).
In the article, Boris Kagarlitsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Kagarlitsky) of the Institute for Globalization Studies describes the AKM as "[the] Russian equivalent of [the] Western Black Bloc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Bloc) . . . surrounded by the police and strictly controlled." But others have pointed to the picture of Stalin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalin) on their webpage and their obviously disciplined (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discipline) orientation as proof that the AKM, while it may be prone to direct action (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_action), cannot possibly be anarchist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist).

There arent many sources -Th wikipedia articles poor but at least informative , they have been working with Komsomol to educate the youth on communism..that's the limit of my knowledge.
