The US Government: The Top “Narcoterrorist” on Earth
Trump is using the “war on drugs” to justify imperialist aggression in Latin America.

Wall Street’s coffers are overflowing with money tied to the drug trade.
The Inter-Imperialist Battle for Latin America Intensifies
In August, Trump sent an armada off the coast of Venezuela under the fig leaf of “fighting narcoterrorism.” In addition to about 4,000 sailors and Marines, this intimidating force includes guided-missile destroyers, helicopters, landing vessels and troop transports, F-35 jets, and a nuclear-powered submarine. The dollar value of the assets involved is in the tens of billions of dollars.
The Communist: Voice of America’s Communist Generation
The Communist is the official newspaper of the party of the Revolutionary Communists of America. 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, and we also use social media and our podcast to spread the communist program.

The physical paper is an instrument for building a real-life organization—a genuine Communist Party of fighters.
