I saw a flyer on a light post yesterday that said "Are YOU a communist?!? Go to wwwdotsocialistrevolution.com and join today!" and I immediately thought, "wow feds are getting agro"

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

[-] ComradeSpahija@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 31 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 26 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago

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

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

[-] JayTwo@hexbear.net 20 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months 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?

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

Hexbear is a modern newspaper.

[-] JayTwo@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

I call it "The struggle session"

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

Imagine buying a newspaper in 2024 😅

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ComradeSpahija@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 7 months ago

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

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

Is that the derfunke thing? Ive seen it around campus

[-] ComradeSpahija@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 months 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~~

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 1 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ComradeSpahija@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 months 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").

[-] JayTwo@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] JayTwo@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months 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:

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

I think those are RCA Avakianist flyers.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

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

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months 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?

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months 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.

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

If I remember correctly, those were put by trots. So just as bad as feds lmao.
