Sun Jul 19 2009This is, in all seriousness, a cult. They practically worship this Bob whoever, who hides out although noone is actually after him.

Mon Mar 31 2008Oh my...this group is not a political party, first of all. They are a potentially dangerous cult. The only reason I can see why they haven't been shut down is because the ruling class needs to have them and their kind around to use for their own interests. "See how crazy these Communists are?" "See how sick the leftists are?" etc. etc. And just to clarify: these are NOT socialists, NOT communists. Just crazies.

Fri Mar 09 2007This party is absolutely SICK IN THE HEAD. This is radical communism that leads to oppression and slaughter, brainwashing, and violations of liberties. Stalinism is what it is. It is extremism that pushes for totalinarianism, Maoism, Dictatorship, Kim Jong Il. If you took your head out of your butt and looked at history- this type of political party dehumanizes people and everything we hold dear. It is really a cult. I know many people who have suffered terribly under communism like this. If you Revolutionary Communists decided to leave Berkeley to see the world for a day and put down your "Weekly Worker" and meet the people who have lived under this torture, I think you might change your opinions on politics. The people I know escaped Russia, Vietnam, and El Salvador to be free of Communist oppression. This is a cult - Do not believe everything you are told in college. Think for yourselves, and most importantly live in reality, not believing in a false reality and broken promises of "... Read more

Fri Mar 31 2006For years this group had a "bookstore" right off of Telegraph Ave in Berkeley - perhaps it's still there. The RCP's a Maoist organization who utilizes the group "Refuse and Resist" as a front operation to recruit new, naive sympathizers to their organization. After all these years, Bob Avakian still has a dominant presence as imperial leader of the organization. However, despite his claims of leading the "vanguard" party, other equally cultic, extremist organizations like the International Socialist Organization (ISO) have in fact surpassed his own group in terms of membership, attention, etc. How do I know about all this? A close friend of mine's brother was (is?) a RCP member, who in fact, was so deeply brainwashed in party "loyalty" that he sacrificed his whole family inheritance - around $10,000 - to the organization, after his parents death. Pretty sad.

Mon Nov 15 2004Bob Avakian has brought forth an analysis of where we're at politically in the US and the seriousness of the stakes like no-one else in this country. He's also the only one putting forth a serious plan for what to do about the intolerable direction the Bushies are taking this country. If you're not outraged with what's going on in this country, then you're not paying attention. If you're outraged then you should be digging into what Avakian has to say. bobavakian.net rwor.org

Sun Jun 27 2004The head of the party--Bob Avakian--is a raging lunatic who is in exile in Paris doing absolutely nothing with his life but to ramble on endlessly about how his party is the vanguard of the socialist revolution. And you know what, he seeks a dictator of the proletariant, with HIM as the dictator. The party is also extremely racist and anti white. They advocate the detention of white people into camps, rich or poor, for the persection of minorities in the past. Yeah, let's repeat history! Ironically the man himself is white. Like I said, the party is nothing but a bunch of has beens who do nothing with their life but go online and rant about how socialism is great.

Sat Apr 17 2004The RCP is the only party in the US that represents the interests of the vast majority of humanity.
