Revolutionary Communist Party, We Are The People March
The "We Are The People March" in New York City was identified as an event organized by the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, led by Bob Avakian. One of the hosts revealed he registered the .com and 2020 .org versions of the march's domain names after the organizers failed to secure them.
A 2016 recording features a conversation between Bob Avakian and Cornel West regarding the futility of voting within a capitalist system. Avakian argues that profound social change only occurs when people step outside the law, citing the Civil Rights Movement as an example of necessary non-compliance.
Revolutionary Communist Party and St. Louis Riot History
Bob Avakian and the Revolutionary Communist Party USA are identified as opportunistic groups exploiting the Ferguson unrest. Historical context is provided regarding the 1917 St. Louis race riots, which were among the first major documented riots in the U.S. and resulted in the destruction of East St. Louis. The discussion suggests that current looting and destruction follow a long-standing pattern of civil unrest in the region.
