Literally pointless

As a Public Service announcement, the CP(F) presents to you the full, unedited, periodless text of the recent soundbite of Revolutionary Communist Party Chairman Bob Avakian:

This new synthesis involves a recasting and recombining of the positive aspects of the experience so far of the communist movement and of socialist society, while learning from the negative aspects of this experience, in the philosophical and ideological as well as the political dimensions, so as to have a more deeply and firmly rooted scientific orientation, method and approach with regard not only to making revolution and seizing power but then, yes, to meeting the material requirements of society and the needs of the masses of people, in an increasingly expanding way, in socialist society—overcoming the deep scars of the past and continuing the revolutionary transformation of society, while at the same time actively supporting the world revolutionary struggle and acting on the recognition that the world arena and the world struggle are most fundamental and important, in an overall sense—together with opening up qualitatively more space to give expression to the intellectual and cultural needs of the people, broadly understood, and enabling a more diverse and rich process of exploration and experimentation in the realms of science, art and culture, and intellectual life overall, with increasing scope for the contention of different ideas and schools of thought and for individual initiative and creativity and protection of individual rights, including space for individuals to interact in "civil society" independently of the state—all within an overall cooperative and collective framework and at the same time as state power is maintained and further developed as a revolutionary state power serving the interests of the proletarian revolution, in the particular country and worldwide, with this state being the leading and central element in the economy and in the overall direction of society, while the state itself is being continually transformed into something radically different from all previous states, as a crucial part of the advance toward the eventual abolition of the state with the achievement of communism on a world scale.

Kasama and the Revolutionary Communist Party

There is much to discuss these days, as the Party funds have been crippled when our stocks in Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and Fannie Mae have been crushing. But we have a solution. More Party dues, more paper sales! How will we accomplish this? By picking up some comrades on the rebound.

Over the past several years, there have been a few periods where our rivals in the Revolutionary Communist Party (United $tates of Amerikkka) have seen mass purges or mass defection during periods of strategic upheaval and self-proclaimed cultural revolution. Our rare, unique, special and irreplacible comrade General Secretary-Chairman has been watching these events with bated breath, less such an awaking from so-called personality cults hit other parties as infectiously as the financial collapse has dominoed between investment banks.

Let us assure our great comrade Bob Avakian, the Stalin to our General Secretary-Chairman's Lenin, that their intransigence in the face of internal dissent and apostacy has been nothing short of inspirational. We offer our hearty admiration to Chairman Bob for his narrow mindedness and dogmatic anti-revionism.

But the comrades who have led these recreances or been excommunicated have also shown an inspirational path, showing a way of factionalism that is worthwhile yet maintaining a line in support of authoritarian Maoism. And we believe that the residual desire for a new idol and sense of listlessness in the want of Party orders may lead these comrades to seek another revolutionary communist fighting machine on which to rely. So far, the Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM) has already issued blistering communiques against the former Avakianites.

The RCP deserters, both of the Kasama project and else, include young party militants and theorists, which will greatly increase the projected sales of our party organs, and flush us with dues, bringing us back from the brink of a microcosm of the kind of economic disaster that Karl Marx foretold of. Again, our unique and rare General Secretary-Chairman, a mirror of the caliber of revolutionary of a Vladimir Ilyich Lenin or a Louis Auguste Blanqui, has found a way for us!

And if that doesn't work, perhaps we'll apply for a government bail-out.
