Welcome to the new Maoist blog, Red Guard Camp. The creation of this blog is happening at a crucial time for First World Maoism. On one hand, after a few years of degeneration (which took a particular bizarre twist towards the end), the Maoist Internationalist Movement is no more. On the other hand, the Revolutionary Communist Party [sic] is falling apart as well as its cominterm, the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.

Out of this situation, a number of new entities have spawned. From RCP, a number of ex- junior cadres have appeared on the blogosphere. Out of the ashes of MIM and from those inspired by its analysis of the labor aristocracy, as well as from the now defunct message board It’s Right To Rebel, a number of other entities have formed.

Needless to say, if Red Guard Camp had to be categorized, it would most definitely fall into the latter group. In the coming months, this will be made more clear as I get this blog up and rolling.

Red Guard Camp is significantly different than other First World maoist blogs and entities in a number of ways. Probably the most noticeable is that RGC is more casual. Whereas entities such as Monkey Smashes Heaven and Maoist Information Website are quite formal and focus much attention on theory as it relates to history, RGC will focus more on commentary. Instead of providing a lengthy monologue on a given topic, RGC makes it its goal to stimulate discussion and critical thought. I will essentially leave things for people to think about.

Additionally, RGC will act as a portal to various websites. In the case of the ex-RCP junior cadre blogs that I previously mentioned, I will make a habit of criticizing their line.

While much of the style of RGC may seem unorthodox, I hope that I can help contribute to First World Maoism and world-wide Maoism generally.
