They are a bona fide political cult. If you check out their website, this is very apparent. They wear shirts with Bob Avakian's face on them, quote him like scripture (refer to BAsics 4:16), and argue they have discovered a "New Communism" that is superior to every form that came before it.

Historically, the RCP oriented toward the most backward elements of the working-class (when the entire New Left made a turn to labor in the 1970s), joining with white racists in Boston to oppose bussing black children to white schools. They sided with the Gang of Four during the post-Mao period, conveniently discovering that China was now capitalist upon Mao's death. They were also historically viciously anti-LGBT, regarding this as bourgeois degeneracy. They have since changed this position.

In 2020, they called on their supporters to vote for Joe Biden to "stop fascism." During the first Trump years, they held demonstrations in support of FBI director James Comey when he was targeted by Trump, and crawled behind every lib resistance movement.

They pretty much tail liberals and scream about fascism all day nowadays.
