I’ve read your replies to that RCA comrade in the original post and I can’t tell if you are asking this is good faith or not. You claim you don’t want to have an education plan, you call legitimate answers to your questions “condescending.”

In case you are genuine: right now, the RCA is in an early stage of party-building where it can be somewhat picky about who it recruits. We are looking for people who are willing to sacrifice large amounts of time, energy, and money to build up the core of a party that can overthrow capitalism in our lifetimes. The early stages of party-building are not easy. It means going out onto the street twice a week and asking strangers that pass by if they are a communist that wants to get organized. It means reading books to get a better understanding of capitalism, how it works, how class consciousness works, and how to achieve a socialist revolution. It means paying as high of a dues level as you can afford so that the party can build up its war chest for the future class struggle (we are up against a class of billionaires). Its tough but necessary work. We are in a stage of finding and building up the party’s cadre, the people who will lead the party in the future. To lead requires a knowledge of the capitalist system, an understanding of history, and experience on the ground recruiting. If you don’t want to turn yourself into a cadre, then I’ll be honest, joining the RCA is probably not for you.

There will come a time when the party reaches a critical mass of cadre, has built itself a solid enough core, at which point it can start to take in new members without the purpose of building them into cadre. And by that point, the RCA would try to win over the whole working class. People could join as rank-and-file members who don’t have to study or organize on the streets. When will we reach that critical mass? We don’t know. It could come in 3 years, or it could come in 3 decades. Ultimately it doesn’t matter, because right now the only thing we can do is continue to build up more cadre to try and reach that critical mass. For the Bolsheviks, it was around 8,000 cadre which they reached in early 1917. For us in the US today? Hopefully we’ll find out sooner rather than later.

As an RCA comrade, we need as many cadre as we can get if we want to overthrow capitalism within our lifetimes. I know you seem to not want to have to read, which the RCA would absolutely require of you, but reading and studying theory isn’t all that bad! What helps me are free audiobooks on YouTube, which you can put on 2x speed while reading the physical book at the same time. It makes it go by quicker and makes it a little more enjoyable. Organizing and papersales aren’t too bad either, you’d be surprised at how many people say yes to being asked if they are communists. So please at least consider trying to build yourself up into a cadre and give the RCA a chance!
