Revolutionary Communist Party

[MKS]

Hello Comrads,
Just wanted to know if anyone here had any information on the Revolutionary Communist Party (USA). I have heard some conflicting things about the group.

Are they just a group of white burgoise liberal trouble makers?
There were some African American goups that spoke out against them.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Gracias.

The RCP calls itself a "maoist" communist party, but is fundamentally a personality cult centered around Bobby Avakian.

They seem to be trapped in a political mindset of about 50 year sago. They're very big on vanguardism and strong government and that wonderfully misleading phrase: "democartic centralism". Basically, whatever their "leader" says goes.

Sorry, but that don't sound like communism to me!

The RCP has its own site, but you may find this site more revealing...

You can get a better "handle" on how they think, handle criticisms, etc. There are, it's true, lots and lots of quotes from Bob Avakian...but they also speak in their own words -- which, on occasion, can be very interesting.
