I saw an ad for the RCA (revolutionary communists of America) on TikTok. What are they? From what I can gather on the mobile site, they do recommend readings from Marx and Lenin, but also from Trotsky, so what are they exactly?
Rebrand of IMT, trots
edit: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Communist_International, we even set up the redirect from IMT haha
Oh my god, thank you for asking this question because I would also like to know. I came across them the same way you did, on TikTok, and I believe I follow someone who is a member but I haven’t gotten much info from their videos. Are they affiliated with the RCP, that’s another acronym I’ve seen thrown around and they seem to be international…
I think RCP is the Avakian cult, isn’t that just a US thing? But they’re different from RCA.
You’re correct, https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Communist_Party,_USA. Founded by someone else but he took over as chairman apparently edit: there is however an RCP in the UK that is the UK branch of RCI (ex-IMT)
despite what seems like an attempt to distance themselves from Trotsky I read a few articles on their site and I can’t take a group seriously if they are ambivalent about Stalin. but that’s why I’m a weird recluse I suppose
their website has a party program of clear goals which is more than most far left parties in the USA.
i wanted to update.
they are a split from the IMT but it seems they aren’t 6 people reading books all day.
they also seem to have a very good grasp on how to communicate to radical but unorganized people which, even if you don’t like their politics, would be worth emulating.
