The Communists of America podcast has a new studio! Fresh from our national congress, we discuss the latest on the US defeat in Iran to Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO—making him the world's first…
We've also been busy because we just had our third National Congress of the RCA in Philadelphia, the birthplace of the American Revolution.
We were charting the course to the next American Revolution.
It was a huge success by all measures.
It
certainly was.
It was the biggest Congress we've ever had in terms of the turnout.
But I thought it was a serious and sober discussion, coupled with tremendously high morale.
I thought that it was both educational and serious, but also uplifting at the same time.
And it really shows the progress we've made, and it shows the progress that we will make.
I saw from every...
Comrade that I spoke to at that Congress, I just got the feeling this party is on the move.
This party is going places.
Absolutely.
There was electricity in the air the whole time.
We had 650 comrades there.
It was much bigger by a couple hundred since the last Congress.
who had traveled there from over 70 cities.
So we have a genuine coast-to-coast representation of this continent-sized country.
We started off discussing the first American Revolution, and we actually had a book launch session by John Peterson, the author of our nudist title from MarxistBooks.com, Revolution and Counter-Revolution in America, which was a major seller.
We sold over $60,000 in literature over the weekend, which was a big jump up from the previous year.
And so it was, I mean, to kick off this next period of our growth, it was really an amazing weekend.
And this is part of the reason you see this kind of forward march of the RCA is we have these big national events.
You bring people together.
They get super energized and inspired.
They come back loaded with theory and with ideas.
