I reject your simplistic argument that either we engage with Bob's flatulent tomes or else we are only "playing at revolution". Likewise fuck this childish analysis that claims if you criticize the authoritarian communist left that you are a Reaganite. That's just pathetic reverse red-baiting. That shit don't float around here. We want human liberation, not another work camp and certainly not another personality cult. How many times must a tragedy play out before we are allowed to call it like we see it? Funny how the pro-RCPers can't defend the party without evoking Chairman Bob.

I mean anarchists!)<br /><br />You're fucking kidding yourself! If you even did some basic research you'd realize that the statement that is being printed wasn't even written by Avakian.<br /><br />But the crucial thing is that if you've critically read anything Avakian has written, if you have any shred of moral and intellectual integrity toward the truth and changing the world, then you'd see, whether you agree with his conclusions or not, that he is dealing with some of the most important contradictions that humanity is facing. And if you saw that, then maybe you could start substantive and constructive discourse.<br /><br />Without that, you're just playing at revolution, and worse, repeating anti-communist convictions that have come out of the mouths of the imperialist dogs themselves and attacking the only revolutionary communist party in any imperialist country, the only leader that actually confronting the task of making revolution in the USA and one of the very few groups with a principled and critical approach to changing the world.<br /><br />Revolution is NOT a tea party!

My first interaction with one of Avakian's sheepish followers (no offense to sheep) came at a demonstration in DC years ago during which conversation led to me being told that "after the revolution" my "counter-revolutionary" concepts (anarchism) would have to eradicated. I asked him what, specifically, he meant, by eradicated, to which he fell silent. I knew, of course, with the little knowledge of the history of his ideology that I had, what exactly he meant.<br /><br />Sorry to hear they've invaded AZ.

Its all a scheme with the RCP anyways, Bob claims to be "exiled", but really, he is overseas by choice and many suspect he is living in a nice comfortable villa off of RCP funds. He is just trying to bolster his ridiculous image while the RCP parachutes into places (happened in pittsburgh, too) and destroy (along with other groups) organic organizing in the area.wcstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510659594397634502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006663874099631371.post-54732929759490136972010-07-12T16:56:56.527-07:002010-07-12T16:56:56.527-07:00The RCP are defending the legitimacy of the border...The RCP are defending the legitimacy of the borders by not calling for their abolition, but the demilitarization.
