STATEMENT BY BOB AVAKIAN: ON THE IMMEDIATE CRITICAL SITUATION, THE URGENT NEED TO DRIVE OUT THE FASCIST TRUMP/PENCE REGIME, VOTING IN THIS ELECTION, AND THE FUNDAMENTAL NEED FOR REVOLUTION
revcom.us
“The situation today holds truly unprecedented and momentous challenges, with profound implications not only for the people in this country but for all of humanity.”

Actual title says "TRUMP/PENCE", but that didn't fit in chapo.

Anyway:

  • I'm not american
  • I just heard about the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA today
  • apparently they're the biggest communist party in the usa
  • I'm dropping this here and going to bed

This is a pretty impassioned argument that revolutionary communists should vote to oust the Trump regime, because they're fascist, compared to the Dems who are just your average dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.

This is not a line of argument you usually hear from ML/MLMs/whatever Bob Avakianism is, and so it's an interesting line of argument

  • Have fun and take care of yourselves haha :af-heart:

    Avakian wrote a few good things on Maoism but we also don’t like him (useless revisionist)

    I see this plea as the work of a nervous counter-revolutionary, Avakian is on the wrong side of the RIM split (he caused) and knows damn well what Maoists will do at the polls this year, and that it will work

    RCP are not the biggest party in the US lmao. They're a small but active cult that gets disproportionate media coverage exactly because they're fucking looney.

    There is no real info on what the biggest Communist party is, and your definition of what that includes might change the results. Trot groups like SAlt are probably bigger than ML parties such as PSL, CPUSA and PCUSA but I'd never consider trots to be communists. If I had to guess, PSL are likely the biggest with CPUSA as the second biggest. PCUSA are pretty tiny.
