The following is some correspondence that happened between Tribune of the People and Struggle Sessions in June of 2021. The Tribune sent out an email to members, supporters and fraternal organizations that included a 'Criticism from a Tribune Reader' and directed recipients to 'bombard the headquarters' and criticize the Editorial Board. At the time I [...]
Statement on the CRCPUSA Published on Maoist Road Magazine
Note: Maoist Road has recently published a short statement on the situation in the United States. As far as I'm aware, this is the only international statement on the former CR-CPUSA movement other than the one posted on the Communist International website which places full support behind the micro-clique surrounding Jared Roark. Maoist Road is [...]

‘Full and Conscious Subjection’ – A New Website Exposing the Dallas-Cult
I recommend all readers of this blog to check out the website Full and Conscious Subjection which is dedicated to exposing the CRCPUSA cult. The author has indicated that it is a work in progress, but already there is a wealth of fascinating information including a comprehensive timeline and several previously unpublished internal documents. I [...]
Internal CRCPUSA Document: A Criticism of the Male Chauvinism in CR(CPUSA)
Editor's note: Following on this website's previous exposure of misogyny and abuse in maoist organizations, here is one of the few documents I know of that speaks of the RG-CR movement's systemic misogyny from within the movement. This document was written in late 2021/early 2022, as many primarily women activists were beginning to raise open [...]
Breaking From Our Men: Settler Women and Armed Struggle
Note: Another polemic from the other side of the US 'Maoist' movement, originally published on People's Voice News on IWWD 2022 - coincidentally the same day when women militants in the CRCPUSA movement led the struggle against the leadership. Again, this is posted not as support for the FTP/MCP movement, but to represent dissenting voices [...]
People’s Army or Women’s Army? Men’s Communism and its Dissidents
Note: A follow-up on the previous post, Val's criticism of the anti-woman ideas and practices endemic to 'Maoist' organizations in the US. I might not agree with all the positions and language in this essay, but what is clear to me is that we cannot disassemble the revisionism, abuse, cult-tactics etc. of the former 'Maoist' [...]
Against the Red Boys’ Club: A Revolutionary Woman Responds to the ‘Struggle Sessions Editorial Board’
[Editors Note:] The following essay was written in March of 2021 by a woman militant named Val who was formerly associated with the FTP/MCP(OC) network of organizations. This polemic was originally published in the mouthpiece of the FTP/MCP movement 'People's Voice News'. While presenting as an inter-organizational polemic, the impression I get is that Val [...]
Critical Remarks on the Statement of the ‘RSG’
Note: This essay, published by the 'Revolutionary Study Network' on February 24th 2023, is a response to an essay we previously published by the unrelated 'Revolutionary Study Group'. I am not affiliated with either group and post their pieces for the sake of study and struggle. These remarks have a confusing amount of overlap with [...]
(Repost) Notes on the RSG Statement
Note: the following essay was published on January 30th, 2023. It criticizes some aspects of a statement I previously posted on here. We re-post this now to stimulate study and struggle. Sharing does not imply agreement or association. By Kevin Since the writing of these notes, it has come to my attention that the “Statement [...]
