A viral video from Philadelphia shows hundreds of Communist Party members marching with red flags, chanting for a "class war" and demanding to "fight the rich and feed the poor," sparking reactions and controversy online.
Hundreds of members of the Communist Party marched through the streets of Philadelphia on Sunday, waving red flags emblazoned with hammers and sickles. A viral video captured the scene, showing the protesters chanting slogans calling for a “class war” and urging action to “fight the rich and feed the poor.” The demonstrations coincided with the announcement by the Revolutionary Communists of America (RCA) of their inaugural congress in the city, as reported by Fox News.
Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, reacted to the footage with a simple tweet of an exclamation mark. The RCA, on their official website, describes themselves as a radical group dedicated to dismantling capitalism entirely.
“We fight for a world of material superabundance and reject the artificial scarcity of a system based on the pursuit of profits,” the group states. “We aim to build a revolutionary leadership and establish a workers’ government capable of addressing the capitalist roots of war, inequality, oppression, and climate catastrophe.”
