On Monday, the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA officially declared their endorsement to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, as the next American president.

In an email to his supporters, communist leader Bob Avakian wrote, “Biden is not ‘better’ than Trump, in any meaningful way.” However, despite their reservation with the Democratic nominee, Avakian would rather choose anyone but Trump pointing out that “except that he is not Trump and is not part of the move to consolidate and enforce fascist rule, with everything that means.”

He continued that for this year’s presidential election, it is not about the question of which candidate is “better,” instead the fight is about choosing the lesser evil. For communists like Avakian, it is about having a president that is less fascist. Moreover, the communist leader believes that the only good thing that can come out of the election is not about which President can deliver a better economy or job security, it is all about defeating President Donald Trump and the “whole fascist regime.”

The president’s campaign team responded to Avakian’s endorsement. The statement begins with Biden’s deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield’s warm welcome to anyone who continued to believe in the Democratic nominee, which includes radical left-wing supporters such as Avakian.

The campaign team also cited Avakian’s long list of grievous offenses including a history of rioting and assault charges for supporting communist leader Mao Zedong’s brutal regime. Under Zedong’s leadership, the Communist Party issued a crackdown on its critics, leading to the bloody Tiananmen Massacre. In a single day, thousands of pro-democracy protesters were killed while 10,000 students were arrested.

Apart from issuing his support with the communist leader, Avakian had also published a memoir entitled “My Journey from Mainstream America to Revolutionary Communist” which recounted his days from growing up in middle-class American neighborhoods to becoming a communist supporter.

The President’s campaign team concluded that Avakian’s endorsement is a clear proof that Biden only serves as an “empty vessel” for radical left-wing supporters to further their own agenda. The campaign team noted that Biden is too “weak” to stand against the mounting pressure and influence from radical left-wing supporters. It also noted how he is eyeing communist Rep. Karen Bass to be his Vice President.

Indeed, Biden had taken huge strides to appeal to far-left Democrats. Back in May, the former Vice President declared in a podcast that in order for America to move forward, the country had to make “radical institutional changes.”
