SynopsisHeavy Radicals focuses on the history of the Maoist political party Revolutionary Communist Party, USA from its inception in 1968 to its decline in 1980. Leonard and Gallagher trace the origin of the RU/RCP,USA to a small group of activists that came from a diverse political backgrounds. Firstly was Leibel Bergman, a member of The Communist Party USA who broke from the party after Krushchev's Secret Speech denouncing Stalin and progressively developed a Maoist, Pro-Chinese Marxist position, founding The Progressive Labor Party. Steve Hamilton was undergraduate student at Berkley University who would join The PLP after being expelled from the university for soliciting communist literature. Bob Avakian was the youngest of the key membership, in contrast to the other figures within the party, Avakian was much slower to radicalize, initially writing for Ramparts Magazine and running for a position on Berkeley City Council in 1967 as a member of The Peace and Freedom Party, before adopting a more radical position influenced by Ramparts contributor Eldridge Cleaver. The last individual listed by Gallagher and Leonard is H. Brice Franklin, a former defense-contractor Franklin joined the Stanford Committee for Peace in Vietnam in January 1966 and eventually The Peace and Freedom Party.
