Below is the web page of Refuse Fascism, a communist organization intent on creating chaos and hoping to transform America into a communist state. Below is information from Wikipedia on the background of their leader Bob Avakian, Many of the leaders who still propose fundamentally changing America are the same individuals who were creating chaos and division in the 1960's. Some are now holding political positions in the government, media and other influential positions. 

Barack Obama was helped in his introduction to politics by Bill Ayers and Beradine Dorn, both members of the 1960's weather underground. His other mentor was Frank Marshall Davis a communist leader from the 1960's. He has had associations with many more such individuals. 

You can see by their web page they propose to keep up the demonstrations and protests until the election in November. 

These groups hope to increase their influence by becoming leaders and activists in any protests they can become a part of.

Robert Bruce "Bob" Avakian (born March 7, 1943)[1] is a political activist who has been the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (RCP) since 1979. Serving as the party's Chairman, Avakian developed the organization's official ideology, a theoretical framework rooted in Maoism, called "the New Synthesis" or the "New Communism."[2] Coming out of the New Left,[3] Avakian has written several books over four decades, including an autobiography.
Avakian was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Berkeley, California.[1] His father, Spurgeon Avakian, was an Armenian American lawyer, civil rights activist, and judge on the Alameda County, California superior court.[1][4][5]

As a young man, Avakian became involved with the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) at Berkeley, the Free Speech Movement[4] and the Black Panther Party.[3] In 1968, he wrote articles for the Peace and Freedom Party's publications[6] and in July 1969, he spoke at the Black Panther conference in Oakland, California.[7] By the time that SDS split into three factions in summer 1969, Avakian was a leading member of the Revolutionary Youth Movement II faction, and was their candidate for National Secretary. Although defeated for the top position by Mark Rudd of the faction soon known as Weatherman, Avakian was elected to the National Interim Committee.[8] During that period, Avakian was a leading member of the Bay Area Revolutionary Union.[9]
In the early 1970s, Avakian served a prison sentence for desecrating the American flag during a demonstration.[4] He was charged with assaulting a police officer in January 1979 at a demonstration in Washington, D.C. to protest Deng Xiaoping's meeting with Jimmy Carter.[3][10][11] After receiving an arrest warrant, Avakian "jumped bail" and fled to France.[4] In 1980, he gave a speech to 200 protestors in downtown Oakland[12] and his police assault charges were dropped a few years later.[1][3]
In 2005, Avakian published an autobiography called From Ike to Mao and Beyond: My Journey from Mainstream America to Revolutionary Communist.[1][13][14] Avakian has been the Revolutionary Communist Party's central committee chairman and national leader since 1979.[12][15] In 2016, the Revolutionary Communist Party USA and others helped form the organization Refuse Fascism, which opposes the presidency of Donald Trump.
