The past decades of political and economic instability in the United States have driven millions of people to the conclusion that we need a revolution.
Inflation, healthcare costs, war, inequality, and all the other aspects of declining capitalist society are weighing on the consciousness of millions of people. A significant layer of society, especially among young people, has moved towards revolutionary communist ideas.
Within this new generation of communists, many are thinking about communist strategy and tactics for the first time. These new comrades want to know how to organize and fight for a victorious socialist revolution.
The Revolutionary Communists of America have often received questions about how we look at mutual aid and direct action, what role we think they can play in transforming society, and what political tasks should be prioritized by communists today. In this booklet, we take up some of the many questions around this topic.
This booklet includes the following articles:
- "Communism and Mutual Aid: How Should We Organize for Revolution?"
- "Direct Action vs. Class Struggle" by Joe Russell
- "Why Marxists Oppose Individual Terrorism" by Leon Trotsky
