"We see Tibet through the binoculars of the People."

That last comment by "dependencytheory" with all the links is from a useless group of sour grapes ex-revolutionaries grouped around Mike Ely and his "Kasama" website. The RCP wrote a splendid answer to their "9 Letters" nonsense, and its gossip filled lying counter-revolutionary nonsense. You can read that at:
www.rwor.org/a/polemics/NineLettersResponse.pdf
Also, see a comment by a reader on that response, at:
www.rwor.org/a/135/Observations_By_Reader-en.html

The RCP is, in my opinion, taking bold and courageous steps to actually try to build a revolutionary movement here and internationally, and always acts on the basis of principle.

The Ely group is just sniping from the sidelines and has nothing constructive to add, just a mess of eclecticism, pragmatism, confusion, gossip, and misdirection.

The video of Avakian's speech is a truly inspiring prtesentation of the evils of this worthless capitalist/imperialist system, an analysis of what we need to do, and an bold call for action and unity against the enemy and for real thoroughgoing revolutionary solutions.

The RCP has been taking bold and inhspiring initiatives to move things forward while all too much of the "left" tails behind Obama.

If you care about a bette world, you owe it to yourself to check out this video of Avakian's speech. If you just watch the beginning, in fact, you will be hungry to see it all.

The cynics prefer to try to get you all tangled up in a bunch of truly sectarian nonsense.

Honest disagreements are one thing, but cynical meanspirited wrecking is another.

The RCP showed us what they mean about promoting unity and principled struggle, focused against the real enemy, in holding the historic meeting last month in Harlem in which an audience of over 650 people, with an overflow crowd outside heard Prof Cornel West and the RCP's Carl Dix discuss "The Ascendancy of Obama… and the Continued Need for Resistance and Liberation."

You can watch the video of that at:

I am not a member of the RCP but I am thrilled that they are taking the initiative to try to take the pressing need for a genuine revolutionary movement in this country to the people in a bold direct and principled manner.

* Why the silence about Nepal?

Reasons why the leadership in Nepal lacks proper vision are understood once you understand what Avakian is putting forth. The RCP also published letters of the exchange that occurred between them and the Nepali Maoists. The DVD speaks about Nepal favorably. So why the silence on the un-silence of the RCP on Nepal?

* Why this “cultural revolution” in the Party?

I‘m too ignorant of too many facts to do other than guess on what really happened. I‘d sure like to know.

* Why have so many people left?

Did they? It appears to me that the Party is more out there now than they’ve ever been.

* Where is the “wild and wooly debate”?

No kidding! If it is taking place it’s behind closed doors somewhere. It appears to me that unless you completely agree with Bob Avakian and have not one single bad word to say about him then you can “debate” with them, otherwise you’re a counter-revolutionary who they refuse to speak to.

* Why are they accusing critics of counterrevolution?

It seems to me an easy weapon for them to dehumanize people with. If Bob Avakian calls you a counter-revolutionary then they can disregard all the things he teaches about the role of debate in the revolution. I imagine that the people in the RCP experience so much hate from every angle that it is a relief to them to be able to simply label you a counter-revolutionary and be able to disregard the criticisms you have.

* Why are they constantly talking about threats to their leaders and organizations?

This questions displays that the asker hasn’t studied much about these revolution thingys.

* What really is the New Synthesis?
* How does it actually differ from communism that has come before?

It’s too long to paste here, do a search for Bob Avakian New Synthesis.

* Is it a correct synthesis that will lead to the development of a revolutionary movement and a revolution in fact?

I don’t think there is much of anything wrong with the line of the RCP, it’s how they frame the leadership (can easily be interpreted as the RCP thinking Bob Avakian is genetically superior to the rest of us) and how they relate to people that are their major problems.

* Why are they holding a line that “Avakian is a cardinal question” or the equivalent of (if not greater than) Marx, Lenin and Mao?

Avakian is a cardinal question. He has more money and has written more, truly in the interests of poor people, than anyone else. Anyone wishing to compete with him needs to get up enough funds to run bookstores and be able devote most of their life to study and writing. Poor people are too wrapped up in securing our survival to study and write as much as Bob has in our interests, and it’s rare a Bob Avakian comes along from the upper class who wants to study and write in the interests of poor people as much as he has.

* Is this justified?

No, but it’s what we have to deal with.

* How do you know the answers to any of these question?

To all the questions that I know the answers to, that knowledge has come to me through application of the scientific method.

* What is the basis for your decision to agree with Avakian and the RCP?

They are far above and beyond any of the numerous other groups I’ve studied when it comes to having a correct understanding of the nature of the system and what needs to be done.

* Is it a well studied analysis of what Avakian and the RCP have to say in light of what communist theory has held in the past, and in light of what the current conditions are in the world?

Yes.

* Or do you make your decision based on something else?

No.

* Is it because you are afraid to lose your identity as a communist?
* Is it because you are afraid to lose friends and family?

I have 0 communist friends or family, perhaps this is a reason I feel more free to criticize the RCP. I can imagine that there are many people in the RCP who are sheeple.

* Is it because you are afraid to think critically and find that the RCP’s math doesn’t add up?

If by the RCP’s math “not adding up” you’re talking about what Kasma has put forth against them then it is you who needs to break out a calculator. The RCP can have many valid criticisms leveled against it, but Kasma chooses to put forth criticisms that are not valid, and other unscientific nonsense.
