The Revolutionary Communist Party used the death of [[George Floyd]] at the hands of [[Minneapolis]] Police to call for “a movement for an actual [[revolution]].” They issued communique #6 titled, “Police murder after murder after murder… To YOU who are sick and tired of the madness, and ready to be part of a movement for an ACTUAL REVOLUTION”:
{{quotebox|“If you’re sick of watching video after video of these murders by police … you need to … join with a movement for an actual revolution, to prepare for a time when it will be possible to lead millions to bring this system down, and replace it with a new society based on the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.”<ref>https://revcom.us/a/649/communique-6-police-murder-after-murder-after-murder-en.html</ref>}}
[[Project Veritas]] infiltrated Rose City [[Antifa]]. In an undercover video, Antifa instructors teach [[white]] people how to maim and disable people.<ref>https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1268527969586360320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref>

Zee said the group was hoping to raise $2M to $5M to organize massive protests in major cities against President Trump. “You’re actually going to sustain millions of people, hundreds of thousands on the streets in certain cities,” Zee explained.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/video/debra-heine/2018/08/01/okeefe-catches-antifa-fight-instructors-teaching-activists-how-to-inflict-pain-on-their-targets-n91391</ref>
