This meant exploiting the unpaid labor of youth under slavery or on the family farm and exploiting the barely-paid labor of youth as workers in mines and mills.
In response to the revolutionary upsurge of the 1960's and early 1970's, certain concessions were made to youth, such as lowering the voting age to eighteen and discontinuing the draft in practice, (though it can be reinstituted at any time).
Youth should discuss and deepen their understanding of this heritage and prepare to enrich it as they move forward to prepare a tidal wave of youth liberation in the 21st century.

The Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade (RCYB), a youth faction of the Revolutionary Communist Party, has used its "bulldog tactics" to contest everything from capitalism, to the war on terror, to the film The Passion Of The Christ.
RCYB's most notable claim to fame occurred in the early 1990s, when member Gregory Johnson demonstrated his hatred for America by burning an American flag, thereby violating a Texas law against flag desecration and sparking a national debate that eventually sent the controversial issue to the Supreme Court.
The RCYB has characterized America as a "sick and dying empire" whose ruling elite has long subjugated minorities and the poor.

The idea of abolition of private property became popular in the early 19th century, and was influenced by new discoveries and the idea of the "noble savage", popularised by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
A key concept that distinguishes Maoism from other left-wing ideologies is the belief that the class struggle continues throughout the entire socialist period, as a result of the fundamental antagonistic contradiction between capitalism and communism.
In Maoist thought, "political power comes from the barrel of the gun" (one of Mao's quotes), and the peasantry can be mobilized to undertake a "people's war" of armed struggle involving guerrilla warfare.

 R&R! Youth Network Denouces Attacks on RCYB and October 22 Activists
On the night of Thursday, October 19th, six members of the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade (RCYB) and four residents of the South Bronx were arrested while planning for the October 22nd National Day of Protest Against Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation.
One cop was overheard saying "were they all there?" and another cop was heard saying "these are the communists." We see this attack on the RCYB and those organizing for the October 22nd Day of Protest as parallel to attacks on the poor, on immigrants, and on people of color in their neighborhoods every day.
And courageous youth like Malcolm Ferguson, who days after protesting the acquittal of the cops who killed Amadou Diallo, was shot down by police in his own apartment building - the very building where the attack on the RCYB occurred on Thursday night.
