Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long, But

Bends Towards Justice.”
Bullshit!
This System Has Enslaved,
Brutalized, Tortured and Betrayed Black People for
400 Years!
We Need an ACTUAL
Revolution to Emancipate ALL Humanity!

“There is the potential
for something of unprecedented beauty to arise out of unspeakable ugliness:
Black people playing a crucial role in putting an end, at long last, to this
system which has, for so long, not just exploited but dehumanized, terrorized
and tormented them in a thousand ways—putting an end to this in the only way it
can be done—by fighting to emancipate humanity, to put an end to the long night
in which human society has been divided into masters and slaves, and the masses
of humanity have been lashed, beaten, raped, slaughtered, shackled and shrouded
in ignorance and misery.”

The Most Important and
Urgent Truth Demonstrated by the History
of Black People in America
From the Revolution Club, NYC
(@NYCRevClub)
If ever a history brings out in vivid color that where there is
oppression, there will be resistance, it is the history of Black people in
America: a history of over 400 years of the most vicious, brutal and cruel oppression,
from slavery, through Jim Crow lynchings and segregation, to today’s mass
incarceration, police murder and brutality, with an open white supremacist back
in the White House... and a history of heroic resistance and rebellion that has
rocked this system on its heels and inspired people the world over, from slave
rebellions to the Civil Rights Movement and Black Liberation struggles to
today’s fights against police terror and mass incarceration.
If it was just
a question of courage, of determination, and of sacrifice, Black people, and
many oppressed people all over the world, would be liberated by now.
But the most important and urgent truth demonstrated by this
history is this:
“[W]ithout the necessary scientific theory and leadership, the
struggle of the oppressed will be contained, and remain confined, within the
system which is the source of oppression, and the horrors to which the masses
are subjected will go on, and on.” 1
We have seen
this too with the struggle against the oppression of Black people repeatedly
being misled, betrayed, and channeled back into the confines of the very system
that is the source of this oppression.
But today, this
is no longer necessary. Today, we have
the scientific theory and leadership we need to get free in the new communism
forged by, and the ongoing work of, Bob Avakian (BA). BA has developed the science, the strategy,
and the vision and concrete plan for a real revolution and a radically new
society on the road to full emancipation. As part of this, BA has shown how,
“White supremacy and capitalism—they have been completely interwoven and
tightly ‘stitched together’ through the whole development of this country, down
to today; to attempt to really put an end to white supremacy while maintaining
the system of capitalism would tear the
entire fabric of the country apart.”2
Indeed, only a REAL REVOLUTION can put an end to this nightmare. Right now, “Those who catch the worst hell under this system,
and those who are sickened by the endless outrages perpetrated by this system,
need to join up with this revolution. Thousands
need to get organized into the ranks of the revolution now, while millions are
being influenced in favor of this revolution.” 3

Why We Need an Actual Revolution and How We Can Really Make Revolution

Excerpt from HOW WE CAN WIN, How We Can Really Make
Revolution, the strategy for an actual revolution from the Central Committee
of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA.
You think you are woke but you are sleepwalking through a
nightmare. We Need an ACTUAL Revolution
to Emancipate All Humanity.
Let go of the
vicious notion that getting Black faces at the top of this system of global
plunder and exploitation will change anything meaningful for the masses of
people here and worldwide when history has shown time and again exactly the
opposite...
Stop getting
played by basing who to listen to or follow on someone’s “identity” rather than
critically evaluating the objective
content of what they have to say and what it will mean for humanity’s
future....
Cast aside the
paltry notion of Black people striving to compete on the terms of this
dog-eat-dog system through “Black capitalism” and Black entrepreneurship....
And it’s time
for oppressed people to get off their knees and stop praying to a nonexistent
God to come down and save them. Like BA says: “Let’s call this what it is—it is
a slave mentality, with which people
are being indoctrinated. All this ‘thank you Jesus!’ is a slave mentality.”...
And one last
thing to white people specifically (as well as others who are not Black)—there is no excuse for sitting this fight
out, even under the BS guise of “staying in your lane” or acting merely as an
“ally.” All of us of every
nationality bear full responsibility
for ending this oppression by taking up this struggle, scientifically digging
into the cause of the problem and solution, and acting on that understanding—as
part of emancipating all humanity.
If you are ready to stop getting played and get on the road to
real emancipation, you need to get into the science, the strategy, and the
leadership we have to make the revolution we need.
“The chance to defeat them, when the time comes—the chance to be
rid of this system and to bring something far better into being—has everything
to do with what we do now. Everyone
who hungers for a radically different world, free of exploitation and oppression
and all the needless suffering caused by this system, needs to work now with a
fired determination to make this happen, so we will have a real chance to win.”4
