Matthis showed up on the inter-tubes again last week when he signed World Can’t Wait’s “Crimes are crimes<\/a>” petition. At least he’s stripped most of the deceit out of his bio. <\/p>\n

Yeah, well, ya know how your mom always told you that you’re judged by the company you keep? Carl Dix, the former head of the Revolutionary Communist Party (distinguished from the regular old Communist Party by their Revolutionary aims). Now you can call me a “red-baiter”, but since the dude calls himself a communist, i don’t know how I’m baiting any-damn-body.<\/p>\n

I wrote about Dix and his connections to IVAW<\/a> over a year ago. He was the national leader of the RCP a few years back, now he’s just a spokesman.<\/p>\n

So what does the RCP believe? This is from the RCP, USA Constitution<\/a> – which, as you can imagine, is very long and tedious;<\/p>\n

The first stage of this movement [Communism] included three epic revolutions: the Paris Commune; the Soviet Revolution; and the Chinese Revolution, which included the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution as its high point. These revolutions effected unprecedented and amazing changes; their vision and accomplishments inspired people around the globe. But world imperialism remained dominant, and these were new and beginning efforts; despite heroic struggles, each in turn was finally defeated by the forces of reaction. In the wake of those defeats, these revolutions have been endlessly slandered, and the truth about them suppressed and distorted. In actual fact, these revolutions proved that a better world really is possible, and through these revolutions humanity has accumulated invaluable experience and a whole new point of departure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Checkout the webpage of the Revolutionary Communist party of Charlottesville<\/a> – Soviet Union imagery, lamentations over China straying from the teachings of bloodthirsty tyrant Mao Zedong, or whatever they’ve changed his name to today.<\/p>\n

There’s a call to celebrate the anniversary of the October Revolution which brought the Soviet Union into being at the cost of millions of gallons of blood. If you refresh the page, the header banner changes to imagery of Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Marx along with some memorable passages from each. <\/p>\n

That’s quite different from what Victor Agosto<\/a> told us a few weeks ago – that communists learned their lessons from China and the Soviet Union (and North Korea?) and that they won’t make the same mistakes next time. It looks to me that they don’t even realize that the Soviet Union split up under the weight of it’s own ideology.<\/p>\n

Of course, there were other lesser luminaries in the crowd who recorded their messages to the waiting masses like Cindy Shehan, Debra Sweet<\/a>, David Swanson<\/a>, Noam Chomsky and Ray McGovern.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, it’s good to see Matthis keeping such good company over there at World Can’t Wait and the Veterans For Peace. Oh, by the way, he couldn’t make it to Washington, DC this past week end (that four hour bus ride was just too much for him) so he sent this message to his minions on Facebook;<\/p>\n

If anyone’s going to the ‘democrats can end the wars’ rally this weekend in D.C., please burn a flag! And roll a burning trashcan into the oval office, if ya get the chance!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
