Not 'an' RCP, but 'the' RCP. A political party - organization. "Movement". Ex-SWP, I presume. Based in America; Theory is Marxistic-Leninistic.

Well....actually, there's not too much of it, to tell ehl'ra eihl ;)
Les' just summarize'em as yer average run-o're-mill Authi-torian Communist-Party Cult, (Apparantly Maoist) with Bob Avakian as "THE" Leader, with alot of rhetoric spin about how bad religion's are and how evil society is :D

But atleast they're risin' in popularity, although their platform is a bit
misguided. Atleast from an Libertarian's point of view, like me :P
What can you say? Can't ask for a unbiased view 'newhere's, no such thang!
More on HERE! (http://rwor.org/rcp-e.htm): However; They're humanitaran, I'd be givin' 'em 'rat.

They're Maoist nutheads.


Avakian is a puffbag full of hot air as well, thats all you really need to know.

Don't be too specific.


They are the predominate Maoist party in the U.S., and while I don't agree with most of their politics, they are very active.


Most of the RCP are actual communists and many are surprisingly very open minded and not so MLM as the party would have it seen.

Avakian, the chairman, is a bit of an odd communist... as the thing is... he really isn't one.

There is an RCP in the UK, the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (ML), although from what I've herd they only have 20 members lmao.

There is also supposed to be a Stalinist society in England in which the RCP go to regularly.

I’ve also herd that they have some connection with the North Korean Workers Party apparently, although whether this is true I’m not sure because of North Korea’s ideology of 'Juche'.

Yes, Kim invites them all to North Korea and drink nice bottles of freshly squeezed Juche with him! :P
