The Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade, first known as the Attic Brigade and then the Revolutionary Student Brigades, is the youth group of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. Members of the group typically wear T-shirts with a large red star superimposed with the silhouette of a young person raising a rifle. These T-Shirts also include the message, "I was born in a gutter called Capitalism, now I'm living for the Revolution".

The most famous RCYB member was Gregory Johnson, who burned the US flag, was arrested, and took the case to the Supreme Court. His case was known as Texas v. Johnson.
