History[edit]

In 1998, supporters of the International Marxist Tendency (IMT) in the United States created the group as Youth for International Socialism, which published New Youth.[1] In June 2002, the group renamed itself to the Workers' International League (WIL) was held and its newspaper to Socialist Appeal, by which name the group was better known.[2] In 2017, the WIL renamed its newspaper to Socialist Revolution (SR), by which name the group was better known.[3] In 2024, the WIL renamed itself to the Revolutionary Communists of America and its newspaper to The Communist,[4] as part of an IMT-wide rebranding that uses orthodox Communist nomenclature and symbols such as the hammer and sickle.[5]
Positions[edit]
The conservative website Campus Reform negatively covered the SR's "Socialist Solution to Fight COVID-19" events[6] and "Marxist School" events,[7] where a Turning Point USA reporter noted that the Socialist Revolution organizers "allegedly called for a revolution".[7]
Both the IMT as a whole and the RCA in particular deny the Big Bang, which RCA calls "an idealistic notion of an origin to the universe"[8] and a "modern creation myth".[9]
The World Socialist Web Site, a member of competing Trotskyist political international International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI), called SR a "pseudo-left organisation" for using the phrase "Russian imperialism".[10]

But we are convinced that the irrational side of the [Big Bang] theory—the idealistic notion of an origin to the universe; of a moment of creation of matter, space and time; and all the absurd mathematical patch ups that keep the theory going—all that will be forced to give way under the weight of observational evidence, and scientists will once more recognize that the universe is infinite and eternal, and that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

But far from exalting God’s creation, the JWST is now beginning to send back data that poses serious difficulties for that modern creation myth: the Big Bang theory. As it looks deeper into space, it is beginning to challenge long-held prejudices about the origin and development of the universe and shedding a brilliant light on profound and important scientific and philosophical questions.
