It used to be the City of Brotherly Love, but don’t tell that to the angry mob of communists that decided to flood the streets of Democrat-controlled Philadelphia.
Shocking video footage is spreading across social media of a large group of demonstrators marching with communist flags on the streets of Philadelphia, chanting for a “class war” and to “fight the rich and feed the poor!”
Reminiscent of the old Soviet Union, the scenes were captured as the Revolutionary Communists of America (RCA) says it held its founding congress in the Pennsylvania city this past weekend.

According to a Fox News report, per its website, the RCA identifies itself as a “party of class fighters committed to the complete overthrow of capitalism.”
“We fight for a world of material superabundance and reject the artificial scarcity of a system based on the pursuit of profits,” the group continues. “We fight to build a revolutionary leadership worthy of the name and to establish a workers’ government that can mobilize the working class to tackle the capitalist roots of war, inequality, oppression, and climate catastrophe.”
“As part of the struggle for the American Socialist Revolution, we fight for concrete improvements in workers’ lives and offer a vision for how society could be reorganized once the working class wins political and economic power,” the group also states.
As for this specific demonstration, according to a statement from the Philadelphia Police Department, about 300 people participated in the march and there were “no significant issues, no citations, no arrests.”
