Class War 2024

 

Here we go again! From an article published in August by the Revolutionary Communists of America (RCA). Note how their name sounds like a pun on the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Probably not a co-incidence.

Some crazy quotes [exclamation marks mine]:

>>>Based on their experience of life under capitalism, ever-wider layers of American workers are drawing radical conclusions. Alongside the many millions who already identify as communists [!!], there are millions of others who reject both ruling-class parties and want to see the entire system overthrown [!!].

>>>The aim of the Class War 2024 campaign is to connect with that mood and equip the communist generation with the political tools it needs to begin sinking roots in every workplace, on every campus, and in every working-class neighbourhood.

>>>As a result, poll after poll reveals a widespread rejection of the ruling institutions of US capitalism, including its twin political parties.

>>>Last year, Gallup reported that a record 63% of US adults believe “a third major party is needed” because they don’t feel represented by either the Democrats or Republicans.

>>>In May, a poll conducted by Siena College Research Institute found that 69% of registered voters believe the US political and economic system needs “major changes” or “needs to be torn down entirely.”

>>>A Trump victory would unleash a mass wave of struggle and open big opportunities for the communists [!!]. He cannot deliver a better life for the working class, and those who vote for him will eventually be very disappointed.

>>>We must raise our banner and spread our programme by every means at our disposal. Class-conscious workers are everywhere; the only limits on our ability to find and discuss with them are the limits of our own boldness and creativity [!!].

>>>Canvassing, door-knocking, selling The Communist, postering, stickering, social media, public events, street rallies, picnics, breakroom meetings, campus tabling, leafleting, yard signs, flyering doorsteps, doormats, and windshield wipers are all valid tactics. [!!!]

>>>Despite the renewed pressure to back the party of the class enemy, a colossal undercurrent of class anger lies just beneath the surface, and the objective conditions for such a campaign have never [!!!] been more favourable.

>>>History is calling on the communist generation to step forward and show what genuine class politics looks like.

Translation: We are a Communist organization with the correct revolutionary program, have no idea where the millions of communists actually are, but will surely find them through stickers and flyers under doormats. How on earth is this not a religious cult? Or at the very least a quasi-Healyite LARP?

I also link to an entertaining article on pop star Taylor Swift...
