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 [...]

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' [...]

[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 piece was originally published in 2020 and was one of the first public pieces to expose the inner working of the Dallas-Cult, focusing on the embarrassments in Kansas City. It is believed (by me, based purely on speculation lol) that the events in Kansas [...]

Note: the following two essays were published by a former Tribune supporter going by René. They provide a slightly different viewpoint and analysis of the revisionism of the crcpusa to what we have shared hitherto. I certainly don't agree with everything written in these pieces, but am sharing it ~for the discourse~. There is also [...]

Note: This text was published by Revolutionary Study Network on December 24th, 2022. It is the first public polemic to combat the mischaracterizations of the CI-IC piece about the situation of revolutionaries in the US. I am reposting it here because it is necessary for us to show that the events of Spring 2022 were [...]

Note: Luke, a former activist within the Dallas-cult, submitted a criticism of Struggle Sessions on March 1st 2022, at a time when head editor Sig Hausner (Liam Swanson, also known as Connor) had already abandoned the journal and some former contributors were struggling over where to go next. This was just a week before the [...]
