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.

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.
