FROM THE FRONTLINES

I Don’t Want to Sit Idly By When I Know I Can Do Something

From Helena, MT I see the terror of imperialism and capitalism every day. I don't want to sit idly, feeling hopeless when I know I can do something. This system benefits the rich and powerful, while the working class is fed lies and hatred to divide us. The evil is woven into our government and constitution. We've been too busy trying to survive and fighting one another. I ...

Rigorous Political Discussions at Northwest RCA Summer Camp

Naomi Moss, Seattle, WA In August we held our first ever Pacific Northwest RCA summer camp! Over four days, we held rigorous political discussions with 40 attendees from across Washington and Oregon. This was the most advanced political event in the history of the RCA in the Pacific Northwest, with discussions ranging from anarchism in the Russian Civil War, to the Red Scares...

We’re in Lockstep with the Youth

Natalia Myers, Dallas, TX During a cell meeting, we did a round table called “Are you a Communist ? Why or Why Not ?” All six new people said they were communists and that we need revolution! These young comrades are reaching more advanced conclusions than I have ever seen in my three years of party building: that identity politics is reactionary, that mutual aid...

Impress Them with Answers

Arren Eaves, Arlington, TX I was nervous at the end of our cell meeting. I worried our arguments for the expropriation of AI —and all other industries —were unconvincing. But when we made our appeal to join the party, every single guest in attendance either joined on the spot or promised to come back next week. One guest was a long-time follower of...

Ten-Year-Olds Imagine 2050

Anonymous What does the future hold ? The New York Times asked a group of 10-year-olds. Here are some of their answers: "Companies will start using AI instead of human workers. That's probably going to cause a pretty big job shortage." What will happen to people who lose jobs to AI ? "Lots of anger. Probably protests. Just lots of outrage." Another kid...

Who Will Buy What They Sell?

While in line at a local restauarant, a man in his fifties mentioned his worries about the future of humanoid robots. I told him how the First Lady already unveiled one such robot at the White House in March. He turned to me and said: "What confuses me most is, if thye replace us all with robots, who will buy the stuff they sell ?"...

“Digital” Food Hall: A Kitchen Nightmare

Andy Shi, New York, NY I’ve been working as a cook at a ghost kitchen for the Wonder “digital” food hall. It’s an app where you can order food from all kinds of restaurants and cuisines in a single transaction. They claim to provide meals from “celebrity chefs.” In reality, we serve pre-made frozen meals which are reheated on site using an air...

Communists in the Courtroom

Ava and Phil, Los Angeles, CA I work at a law firm defending tenants. Before any trial, attorneys question potential jurors to root out “bias.” Word spread quickly around the office about a juror who denounced landlords and private property during jury selection. Come to find out, it was our comrade Phil! “When the issue of ‘bias’ came up ,” Phil said,...

I Nearly Passed Out … for $75

Rowan Smith, Philadelphia, PA In a matter of minutes, I felt my whole body go numb and my vision cloud over. Like many workkers scraping by while the rich get richer, I needed to make some quick cash to survive. I turned to donating plasma. I knew the process came with a laundry list of potential side effects —one not listed was...

An Encounter with Zohran

Emma W, New York, NY I was heading uptown on the 1 train. The doors opened at a station on the Upper West Side and in stepped Zohran Mamdani, flanked by an assistant and a bunch of security. He was standing right next to me, so I introduced myself. He smiled and nodded when I told him I...

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.

Albania in Flames as Youth Revolt Advances

Albania in Flames as Youth Revolt Advances

When the Flamingo Revolution began five months ago, the Albanian masses set out with a clear intention—to keep the protests peaceful. But five months on, very little had been achieved. As the movement began to ebb, Prime Minister Edi Rama continued to smear demonstrators as “foreign agents” in an effort to discredit and demoralize them.

Trump and MAGA Crushed in U.S. Midterms

Trump and MAGA Crushed in U.S. Midterms

Two years after trouncing Kamala Harris, Donald Trump has himself been dealt a crushing electoral blow. The forecasted “blue wave” turned out to be a “blue tsunami.” Tens of millions voted against Trump and for the only other apparent option—the Democratic Party.

The Jungle: A Classic of Socialist Literature

The Jungle: A Classic of Socialist Literature

On the 120th anniversary of The Jungle’s publication as a novel, The Communist revisits Upton Sinclair’s exposure of the rotten Beef Trust in South Side Chicago. Today, Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is remembered for its stomach-churning descriptions of Chicago's...

Bourgeois Democracy: A Dictatorship of the Rich

Bourgeois Democracy: A Dictatorship of the Rich

“The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class shall represent and repress them in parliament.” A majority of Americans would agree with this description by Lenin of so-called “democracy” under capitalism.

The American Revolution and the Iroquois Confederacy

The American Revolution and the Iroquois Confederacy

Long before the Revolutionary War, North America was home to an egalitarian society. Men and women had equal rights, democratically elected leaders, and a constitution with a sophisticated system of checks and balances. It was called the Haudenosaunee Confederacy—better known as the Iroquois—a political structure based on the unity of five, and later six, Native American nations.

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.
