Bring the Ruckus

Bring the Ruckus is a revolutionary cadre organization in the United States that rejects both the loose social networks model often used by anarchists and the vanguard party model of the Leninists. They seek to build a revolutionary organization of organizers, committed to an anti-statist, revolutionary feminist, and anti-capitalist vision of a new society. It is their view that only a revolutionary direct democracy movement led by the working class can truly remake society.

Bring the Ruckus is influenced by the Race Traitor theory pioneered by Noel Ignatiev, which argues that a "separate deal" was struck with the white working class and capital that has prevented the full participation of white workers in the struggle for liberation, and that only combating racial oppression and attacking institutionalized white privilege and white supremacy can break this "separate deal."

The organization was first proposed by the Ruckus collective (no relation to the Ruckus Society) formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1997. This collective discussed the need for a national revolutionary organization and embarked on a program of study with the goal of creating a proposal for one. During this time they studied a number of past revolutionary groups, focusing particularly on their politics, program, structure, and strategy.

Some of the founders of Bring the Ruckus were active in the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation before it dissolved itself in 1998.
