The RCA’s Third National Congress: Preparing for the Next American Revolution

The New Face of Hunger in America
Nearly 48 million people in the US—including 14 million children—don’t get enough to eat, according to 2024 statistics from the USDA. Just under 40 million are enrolled in SNAP, also known as food stamps.
Higher Prices for Workers—Higher Profits for Billionaires
As workers trim their grocery lists and avoid driving to save money, corporate profits reached almost 16% of GDP—a historic high.
Fertilizer Shortage Drives Catastrophic Food Inflation
According to the UN’s World Food Programme, “The total number of people around the world facing acute levels of hunger could reach record numbers in 2026 if the escalation in the Middle East continues to destabilize the world’s economy.”
How British Imperialism Paved the Way for the Nakba
May 15 marked 78 years since the Nakba, the brutal terror campaign waged by Zionist forces against Palestinians to found the state of Israel. British imperialism—having subjected the region to decades of domination, plunder, and division—was central to this catastrophe.
CIA Director Visits Havana as US Imperialism Ramps Up Blackmail against Cuban Revolution
If anyone thought that US imperialism’s embarrassment in Iran would deter it from its escalating campaign of aggression against the Cuban Revolution, they were very mistaken.
China Sets the Agenda at the Xi-Trump Summit
Concretely speaking, little or nothing was achieved at the “G2” summit between China and America last week. No shift from China on Iran, no shift on tariffs, no shift on rare earths, nor on Taiwan. But in the relations of imperialist powers, the intangibles of prestige and appearance can be decisive, just as between two sets of gangsters trying to call each other’s bluff.
Brace for the Oil Shock: U.S. Imperialism’s War to Blame for Worldwide Spike in Prices
“War is God’s way of teaching geography to Americans,” Mark Twain allegedly once quipped. The current war in Iran has a particularly painful lesson in store.
As a Nurse, I Can’t Watch “The Pitt”
I was a brand-new nurse in May 2020, just after the second wave of Covid hit. On my first shift, I was handed a paper bag with a single N95 mask to last the entire week. I wore that same mask for 12-hour shifts, night after night.
The Inter-Imperialist Space Race
Space has once again opened up as a front for conflict between the great powers. Artemis II was the first US lunar mission in over 50 years, bringing humans 252,756 miles away from the Earth. But this advance in space travel is hardly in the name of “human progress.”
US Indictment of Raúl Castro—We Say: US Imperialism, Hands Off Cuba!
A Florida federal prosecutor has indicted the Cuban Revolution leader Raúl Castro with charges of conspiracy to kill US citizens and murder. This is a very dangerous escalation of the Trump-Rubio campaign to smash the Cuban Revolution and must be strongly repudiated by the working class movement internationally.
AI Investment Prepares New Attacks on the Working Class
When Al emerged some years ago, commentators said that Al and robots were going to take over the world, that we were all going to be unemployed, and so on. But at the time, this was more conjecture than anything. Without investment, AI as we know it would never have become a reality.
The Communist: The 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.
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.
