I saw a flyer on a light post yesterday that said "Are YOU a communist?!?

I saw those in New York and had to spend a minute trying to figure out if they were Avakianist cultists, trots, or CPUSA libs since they all decided to go with the same dumb recruiting blurb

I saw some with that wording in Germany last summer, they were from the IMT, so trots in that case...

Yeah IMT rebranded to "Revolutionary Communists of America". My tiktok won't stop spamming me with them.

Is their logo a puppy staring into an old timey phonograph?

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

It's this group: https://socialistrevolution.org/

Every single god damn tiktok I get is about buying their newspaper.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They still sell newspapers because Lenin said that running a newspaper is important.
If blogs are better overall then why didn't he mention them back a century ago, huh?

Hexbear is a modern newspaper.

I'd pay five dollars for a printed copy of the infamous indoor cat struggle session.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I call it "The struggle session"

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Imagine buying a newspaper in 2024 😅

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

And? Have you supported the cause by paying to read their revolutionary essays?

~~I think you're confusing RCA and HMV~~

Is that the derfunke thing? Ive seen it around campus

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

having looked it up, I'm pretty positive it is that; the slogan is the exact same, and it has ties to the IMT. ~~Then again, trots split so often that there is a possibility that this is a different sister group to whatever made the one I saw /s~~

Do you have any recommendations on german orgs? The disadvantage of online radicalisation is it leaves the newly radicalised a bit stranded when they do wanna touch grass

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not from Germany so I can't really say, since I haven't heard too much of any German orgs. I only knew of the IMT because they are also fairly present in France (if by "present" you mean "trying to sell their newspaper at any and all protests").

Just you wait until a member of the ~~IMT~~ RCA walks onto your subway train trying to ~~proselytize~~ agitate.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Inb4 someone replies with "well how do you agitate?" Not by taking pointers from the goddamn Jehovah's Witnesses at least.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I think those are RCA Avakianist flyers.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah they were but the trots and CPUSA libs all run with the same dumb recruiting line

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Really? I genuinely wonder why. Could be a good pepe-silvia moment to say they fall under the same FBI program that distributed the same shitty idea to all of them.

Which trot organization uses it? ISO?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I think it came originally from IMT, I'm not too studied on trotskyite lore to be 100% positive so take it with a grain of salt but I'm positive the phrase originated from the trotskyite side of the left.

I don't know about the other guys but I'm near certain cpusa started running that line around the end of last year because I remember coming across their shit and being confused about which trot org was trying to co-opt the cpusa hammer and gear and being more confused when it turned out it was cpusa trying to coopt trot language.
