The Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (RCPUSA) is a communist party in the United States of America that follows Marxism–Leninism and Maoism.[1] It is widely criticized for its cult of personality around its leader, Bob Avakian.[2] More recently, it has shifted towards patriotic socialism.[citation needed]
Structure[edit | edit source]
Every three years, a national congress of the party is held. The congress elects a Central Committee and the Central Committee elects a chairman. When the congress is not in session, the Central Committee is the highest body of the RCPUSA. Individual branches of the party hold elections once a year.[1]
