I saw a flyer on a light post yesterday that said "Are YOU a communist?!?
I saw those in New York and had to spend a minute trying to figure out if they were Avakianist cultists, trots, or CPUSA libs since they all decided to go with the same dumb recruiting blurb
Really? I genuinely wonder why. Could be a good moment to say they fall under the same FBI program that distributed the same shitty idea to all of them.
I think it came originally from IMT, I’m not too studied on trotskyite lore to be 100% positive so take it with a grain of salt but I’m positive the phrase originated from the trotskyite side of the left.
I don’t know about the other guys but I’m near certain cpusa started running that line around the end of last year because I remember coming across their shit and being confused about which trot org was trying to co-opt the cpusa hammer and gear and being more confused when it turned out it was cpusa trying to coopt trot language.

Just you wait until a member of the
IMTRCA walks onto your subway train trying toproselytizeagitate.Inb4 someone replies with “well how do you agitate?” Not by taking pointers from the goddamn Jehovah’s Witnesses at least.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I think those are RCA Avakianist flyers.
Yeah they were but the trots and CPUSA libs all run with the same dumb recruiting line

Which trot organization uses it? ISO?
