Revolution and Communism in America? Or is this some cognitive dissonance....?

Not so fast say members of the Revolution-ary Communist 4, or the RC4 for short. They are the ensemble of four Maoist revolutionaries who kicked off a national speaking tour on July 23 in Los

Angeles. And their Tour has a specific focus on the Black communities of this country.

They say that in the post-9/11 political climate, when thousands upon thousands of Arab, Muslim and South Asian immigrants have been detained, when civil liberties are aggressively being curtailed by legislation and policies such as the USA Patriot Act, when lawyers no longer can

count on a client-attorney privileges, police brutality and racial profiling has escalated and re-codified, and torture is being mainstreamed by US forces in Guantanamo and at Abu Graib, and where we?ve seen stolen elections and bold power plays by the Christian fundamentalists in and out of political power -- comes the RC4 Speaking Tour.

The RC4 are Carl Dix, Akil Bomani, Clyde Young and Joe Veale ? proud Maoists, and enthusiastic followers of Bob Avakian, the Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party. They are three veterans of the Black liberation movement and a new generation revolutionary.

They have the right to speak about the oppression of black people in bringing forward revolution and communism; and they have proclaimed their bold and unprecedented speaking tour will be focusing on the Black communities in the US from the West to East Coasts. The RC4 Tour kicked off in Los Angeles on July 23, 2005 before an audience of 200.

The RC4 plan to speak to some of the heaviest questions weighing on Black people: The binding influence of religion, the Bill Cosby brand of ?personal responsibility,? the

"manhood" patriarchy of keeping women oppressed,the ?bling-bling? of capitalism and entrepreneur-ialism ? no stone will be left unturned in digging at the truth of how it will take all the way proletarian revolution to end the oppression of Black people and everything else foul this system inflicts on people here and around the world.

They say the Black communities in the US, under siege for over a generation since the Reagan years, have been marginalized, brutalized, criminalized and demonized not seen since the days of Jim Crow. Recounting the role of Black people during the civil rights years and the Black liberation movement that immediately followed it, the RC4 aim to bring forth from among this important section of the American people, a revolutionary polarity that is united around revolution and communism.
