* Eric Wilkinson, ( 1976 –), poet / musician who wrote Black Through A Distortion Pedal ( San Francisco Bay Press ) and started indie, social theoretical hip-hop band, The Dialectics, noted for their EP " Bicycle: A Transportation Communique ," which advocates bicycle riding as a form of social justice.

Through his writings in the Red Papers, the theoretical journal of the Revolutionary Union, Avakian began to develop a method and approach with which to examine many of the key historical questions of the communist movement and theory, as well as the sharp and controversial issues of the day.

Through a very protracted process, which included theoretical debate around the critical issues of what kind of revolution is needed, issues of revolutionary strategy, and very closely linked to these issues, the question of what comprises revolutionary leadership, Avakian played a key role in the development of a new communist party in the U. S. In 1970 the Bay Area Revolutionary Union became a national organization ( renamed the Revolutionary Union ); this organization itself went through splits over positions in relation to the above questions.

Through doing so, argues Archer, it's possible to give empirical accounts of how structural and agential phenomena interlink over time rather than merely stating their theoretical interdependence.
