Where do the interests of humanity lie?... AND WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE REVOLUTION HUMANITY SO URGENTLY NEEDS? Tuesday, March 1,4pm PT Live streamed from NY—Watch. Come hear Andy Zee, host of the Revolution-Nothing Less show and spokesperson for Revolution Books in dialogue with Raymond Lotta, a political economist who writes for the revcom.us website. Come with your questions on the underlying causes and dangers of this war, the actual history of Ukraine, the role of the U.S. in all this—and our role, as people living within the US, the main oppressor in the world today. ‘[T]he essence of the conflict between the U.S. and countries like Russia and China is not one between “democracy” and “authoritarianism,” but is a matter of rivalry among imperialist powers, all of which are monstrous oppressors of masses of people, and none of which represent or act in the interests of humanity. What is called for, and urgently now, is to oppose all imperialist marauders and mass murderers, and all systems and relations of oppression and exploitation, while giving particular emphasis to opposing “our own” imperialist oppressors who commit their monstrous crimes “in our name” and seek to rally us to support them on the basis of a grotesque American chauvinism, which we must firmly reject and fiercely struggle against.’ [read the whole article here.] from Shameless American Chauvinism: “Anti-Authoritarianism” as a “Cover” For Supporting U.S. Imperialism by Bob Avakian Watch Bob Avakian refute the GTF — the Great Tautological Fallacy of American chauvinism: the disgusting notion that America and Americans are better and more important than everybody else.

Received from The Revcoms

To our readers: In a heinous act dripping with hypocrisy, Vladimir Putin announced he was sending in his army to “demilitarize and de-Nazify” Ukraine. This is nothing but grotesque imperialist bullshit to justify a move to protect the capitalist-imperialist interests of Russia. In words which were even more hypocritical, American political players from Biden on down self-righteously deplored this move—while conveniently ignoring the U.S.’s own history of doing exactly the same kind of thing, except qualitatively more frequently and on a much more horrendous scale. And, of course, Biden very conveniently covered over the ways in which the U.S. and NATO have goaded this on. In order to understand what is really going on, we urge you to read “As Ominous Events Unfold in Ukraine, a Basic Orientation” and “While Russian Troops Mass on the Ukraine Border, U.S. Provocations Escalate Danger of War”; to tune into The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less—Show today, Thursday, at 8 pm EST, 7 pm CST, and 5 pm PST; and to come back to this site later today, as we add materials that can explain this. In the meantime, keep this in mind: The interests, objectives, and grand designs of the imperialists are not our interests—they are not the interests of the great majority of people in the U.S. nor of the overwhelming majority of people in the world as a whole. And the difficulties the imperialists have gotten themselves into in pursuit of these interests must be seen, and responded to, not from the point of view of the imperialists and their interests, but from the point of view of the great majority of humanity and the basic and urgent need of humanity for a different and better world, for another way.

Share on social media  ‌  ‌ Revolution Books: A bookstore on a mission to change the world! Black History Month at Revolution Books Tuesday, Feb 22, 4pm PST Watch HERE on Feb 22. Register for event here. A virtual Revolution Books, New York evening with Robert Jones Jr. and his novel, The Prophets Two enslaved youth, Samuel and Isaiah, find love with each other on a brutal Mississippi plantation called Empty. This is their story, the story of those who know and care for them, of those who use them and those who betray them. A story of then and now.  “The Prophets chronicles much cruelty and misery and violence, as is inevitable in a book about slavery. But it’s not really a pessimistic book. Rather, the novel itself functions as an act of love and resistance, by expressing solidarity with those who love despite sanctions and oppression. Patriarchy and white supremacy insist on rigid roles for Black and white, male and female. The Prophets imagines a different past, and a different future.”  –The Observer "Operatic. . . As the story layers itself and picks up to a devastating pace toward the end, it bursts forth in a crack of lightning and the reader is left aflame. The Prophets is an astounding book, at once potent and universe-level expansive, a sky unto itself." -- Sarah Neilson, The Seattle Times Robert Jones, Jr. is the New York Times-bestselling author of The Prophets, which was a finalist for the 2021 National Book Award for Fiction. He has written for numerous publications, including The New York Times, Essence, and The Paris Review. He is the creator and curator of the social-justice, social-media community Son of Baldwin, which has over 290,000 followers across platforms. BUY The Prophets at REVBOOKS online or in person!
