FTP (For the People) is the least insane Maoist formation in the U.S. and bla*****emao is the least batshit Maoist chairperson.

FTP advertises itself as a non-Gonzaloite MLM pre-party formation guided in no small part by the struggle for black liberation.

Consequently, the individual in question likes to pretend to be the arbiter of black liberation. Regardless of the utter whiteness of the party - they even once had a split over settler feelings and quasi-ironic talk of deporting settlers and the like.

I know individuals who have been consumed and spat out by the organization. Instructed to carry out… most kindly and non-incriminatingly said, ultraleftist action. Dangerous. No explanation. Demcent means following orders blindly, after all. They do not speak fondly of their experience.

The line taken on revolutionary suicide approaches the idea very, very seriously, and often literally. Though one would be assured that the org’s leadership does not support putting cadre in danger for no reason, I will say that actions speak louder than words.

Non-Gonzaloite, yeah? No. Not really. They ditch the worship LARP of Gonzalo, but he is still upheld (with just a twinge of cautious apologia and embarrassment) as a worthwhile theorist and revolutionary. The politics are eclectic and entirely inscrutable from the outside, seemingly tailing the random ideological whims of their leader.

I have to remain a bit vague in a public comment. They are very online, probably searching for any and all references to the org and leadership.

I used to wonder how they could be so active online with so few people while building revolution.

Ah. It’s because they’re almost entirely online, of course, and when they’re not, they’re plastering arcane propaganda on abandoned building walls or planting crops on toxic land.

They’re better than Red Guards, I guess. They won’t mail you dead rats or impale pig heads, just instigate petty and violent online feuds if you are deemed ideologically impure.
