This is the archive for the website for the Rural People’s Party, a political and communal group in South Carolina that formed in 2004 and that launched an online presence in 2007. Although it had no affiliation with members of Peoples Temple, it adopted a number of images and audio clips from the group, especially of its leader, Jim Jones. The group notably created the Sharon Amos Brigade, as a means to offer “opportunities for women to improve and apply themselves as individuals as a part of a greater collective consciousness.” The group became inactive around 2010.

In the interest of preserving the information from the Rural People’s Party website for future generations of Jonestown scholars and researchers, the managers of this site downloaded it in its entirety in 2023.

THE RURAL COLLECTIVE: AUTHORIZED ORGAN OF THE RURAL PEOPLE'S PARTY

"The Communist Voice of Juche and Jim Jones Thought"

"In the bourgeoisie society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in communist society, the present dominates the past. In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality. And by the abolition of this state of things is called by the bourgeois, abolition of individuality and freedom! And rightly so. The abolition of bourgeois individuality, bourgeois independence, and bourgeois freedom is undoubtedly aimed at." - Karl Marx from "Proletarians and Communists", Communist Manifesto
