The Revolutionary Communist Party has been around since the late 1960s. They started in Berkeley, California. Their Leader, Bob Avakian, is probably about 75 now. He is the son of the late Alameda County judge Spurgeon Avakian.
In the late 70s Bob Avakian got arrested at some rally, like dozens of other people. The others got off with a slap on the wrist, but Bob wanted to make this picayune brush with the law into a Political Show Trial. His minions began urging the revolutionary masses who they thought existed in the seething mass if oppressed humanity that was the United States populace to “Stop the Railroad of Bob Avakian”.
I think he fled to France in exile, but came back later. He is pretty much a recluse at this point, like Howard Hughes or L. Ron Hubbard.
Nice review. Gave similar on the “rankings of commies” startin g with the “acceptable” CPUSA.
Avakian is still alive, and reclusive— he’s a slob a lifetime manipulative slob freedom vampire.
Howard Hughes was ill, and multibillionaire being sucked dry by his... Mormon “volunteer” handlers under see eye ehhh’s middle man robt. Maheu (who also ripped off this once genius aviator and military contractor).
L. Ron Hubbard— a naval officer who shelled California and was court martialed, failed terrible sci-fi writer and loser scam artists.
Of the three Avakian and Hubbard are/were/still are scam artists.
