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.
