Surprise . . . errr, maybe not.

Representatives of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA were on scene at a rally Monday to honor slain 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
On the ground before them laid a giant banner that read: “17 Afghans, Trayvon Martin murdered: The System of Capitalism-Imperialism set these crimes in motion.”
“There’s an underlying economic system that we live under,” Joey Johnson, member of the Communist Party and writer for the Revolution newspaper, told The Daily Caller. “Fundamentally, what exists in the United States is not democracy, but capitalism and imperialism and the political structures to enforce that capitalism and imperialism. It’s a modern day version of the haves and have-nots, the many being exploited by the few.”
“It’s the stuff that ‘Occupy’ has been talking about, the one percent, the big finance capitalists who exploit people all over the planet,” he added. “What we’re trying to do is bring out the reality of that and connect it with the murder of Trayvon Martin.”
