For 53 days, Bolivia witnessed an intense struggle that reached insurrectionary proportions. The movement demanded the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz, and might well have succeeded.

This statement was passed unanimously at the summer meeting of the leadership of the Revolutionary Communist International. We say: Defend the Cuban Revolution!
The private business actors who have emerged in recent years, and the networks through which they coordinate their thinking, have become a new political force in Cuba. This year marks a century since the birth of the historic leader of Cuban socialism, Fidel Castro; to paraphrase one of his sayings, it seems that his ideas are set to die in the year of his centenary.

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.
The RCA is on a mission to carry Bolshevism into the political arena of a country that’s ripe for it. Yes, we’re Bolsheviks living in the digital age, and we also use social media and our podcast to spread the communist program. 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 genuine Communist Party of fighters.
