FROM THE FRONTLINES

“I Saw the Hammer and Sickle and Thought: These Must Be Normal People!”

Austin D, Chicago, IL Far from a protest and closer to a music festival, the "No Kings" event in Chicago attracted all sorts. There was an expected —and rather large —layer of liberals but, more significantly, an equally large layer of disillusioned workers and youth looking for a revolutionary way forward. When asked why they were attending, no one responded with...

The Magnetic Appeal of Marxist Economics

Yan B, Philadelphia, PA After Labor Day weekend, I returned to the metal sheet processing factory for another grueling 10 hour shift. I expected my coworkers to come back relaxed and excited for the shorter workweek. Instead, the normally lively quality control room was now filled with an atmosphere of grumpiness. And as it turned out, there was indignation. "You guys know Marx? Karl Marx?" A 30-year-old coworker exclaimed ...

“Of Course Zohran Needs to Break with the Democrats!”

Martin L, Queens NY An enthusiastic young worker who volunteered for Zohran came to our table. He talked about the cost-of-living crisis in NYC: “The rent is rising like crazy. People are living paycheck to paycheck. Groceries are getting mad expensive. And no one wants to talk about it.” “That’s why Zohran won ,” I said, “he connected with working-class anger....

From North Carolina to New York: Students Turn to Communism

Mary Claire G, Brooklyn, NY When I left Boone, NC where I had graduated Appalachian State University years ago, I never dreamed I would one day return and work with communists building for revolution. This month, while visiting family, I made the two hour journey up the mountain to visit the Boone RCA comrades. On the first day of classes at...

Dallas RCA Connects with Radical Youth at UNT

Jaybre A, Dallas-Forth Worth, TX On August 13th, 18 revolutionary communists assembled at the University of North Texas to intervene energetically at the campus's organizational fair, the Mean Green Fling. We met two hours before the event to discuss The Communist issue 16, with particular focus on Zohran Mandami, Trumpism, and the central theoretical article, "What Will Communist America...

Communists Generate Excitement at San Diego Pride

Violet, San Diego, CA On July 19, RCA comrades attended San Diego Pride. Comrades marching in the parade had success using our slogans, despite competing with the parade floats. Many people looked over hearing, “Rainbow capitalism is not the answer! ” A young girl ran up to us with excitement and asked if we had any zines or pamphlets —we sold her a...

“The union leaders didn’t want to fight . . . we gotta get us some people who do”

It’s no secret that Philadelphia’s public transit system is falling apart at the seams. Today it took me an extra 40 minutes to get home due to a mix of “equipment malfunction and operator unavailability.” In other words, there’s no money for fixing death-trap vehicles or convincing workers to drive them. After two transfers, I finally made...

Raising the Red Flag at Coney Island

Quinn H, Brooklyn, NY A group of RCA comrades gathered at Coney Island beach for a birthday celebration on Saturday afternoon. We put up an RCI flag on the umbrella pole stuck in the sand. A group of beachgoers behind us shouted out, “We hate capitalism! ” Two comrades went over to talk to them, copies of The Communist in hand....

Workers Cheer On Communism at Raising Cane’s

Anthony R, Denton, TX After clocking in at my job, I passed by a new coworker in the kitchen. With my backpack still on, I introduced myself and before I could even finish a sentence, another coworker interrupted and said, "Anthony's a communist by the way!" A number of coworkers asked me to explain the RCA's perspectives to our new coworker, I paused gathering my thoughts and gave ...

Morganton NC “No Kings” Protest: Liberals Called the Cops on Communists

Spencer B, Boone, NC RCA comrades attended two contrasting “No Kings ” protests in North Carolina, one in Morganton and one in Boone. In Morganton, we were met with hostility. Liberal organizers stared us down, and before we could set up, police escorted us out at the organizers’ request, claiming the courthouse lawn was a rented venue —though no such...

COMMUNIST NEWS

The communist is the party’s official newspaper.

It is different from any other publication you’ll find in the US today. Behind this newspaper, there’s a vast network of communist activity from coast to coast. It is a tool for organizing in the streets, at protests and strikes, for building communist cells in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and campuses.

Yes, we’re Bolsheviks living in the digital age—that’s why you’re reading this on our website, and we also use social media and a podcast. But we’re not the kind of internet leftists who stay inside and “do politics” online. That’s why we need something we can carry with us into the streets and put into people’s hands. The physical paper is an instrument for building a real-life organization.

A PROGRAM FOR REVOLUTION

WHAT WE FIGHT FOR

The RCA is a party of class fighters committed to the overthrow of capitalism. We fight for a world of superabundance and reject the artificial scarcity of a system based on the pursuit of profits. We fight to establish a workers’ government to tackle the roots of war, inequality, oppression, and climate catastrophe.
