Friends of the Spartacus Youth Club

The Friends of the Spartacus Youth Club is a left-wing student club. Its name is "Friends of..." rather than simply "Spartacus Youth Club" because the actual Spartacus Youth are too unpalatable for recognition. Either way, these Spartans are a real-life Marxist-Leninist-Trotskyist organization. Their only two members at Columbia are known for:

• accusing the International Socialist Organization of being right wing extremists
• advocating the freeing of Mumia
• verbally assaulting passers by
• not wearing deodorant

They are perhaps most famous for their rallying cry of "Defend the deformed workers state of North Korea from imperialist, capitalist America!"
