Stalin’s secret police chief Beria ran a rape dungeon in his dacha, relying on his lieutenants in the security apparatus to pick up and drop off girls in Moscow that caught his fancy. Wartime French Resistance veteran and quasi-Maoist Louis Althusser, still a cornerstone of undergraduate liberal arts departments, murdered his wife during a purported psychotic episode. American Communist historian and Party theoretician Herbert Aptheker incestuously abused his daughter and the Communist Party continues to print his historic study on Black slave revolts. During the past 25 years, the Trotskyist International Socialist Organization and the Socialist Workers Party (UK) both were shut down permanently by sex crime coverup scandals. In March 2017, the Providence Industrial Workers of the World were subject of a public zap by the RAGE Collective, a group of Wobblies who had survived sexual violence perpetrated and covered up by cis men in the IWW. Most disturbingly, the alleged perpetrator was a serial sexual predator with an internet trail of alleged offenses in both Boston and Southern California. The perpetrator’s co-conspirators, grotesquely, had helped the perp migrate to Providence. They invoked the notion of a so-called “Accountability Process” that the perp had already participated in, perversely warping this notion of mandatory disclosure into a right-to-privacy for someone who was by no means entitled to such obscurantism.

HEAVE HO!
