Join the Revcom Corps Chicago Thursday 11/14 6pm Quaker House 5615 S. Woodlawn Ave, Chicago, IL For a crucial discussion. Friends, We stand at a dangerous turning point not just for this country, but for the world. This is NOT a time for demoralization or despair. It is a time for righteous anger and revolutionary determination! This is the orientation strongly put forward by Bob Avakian in his piercingly clear message following Trump's victory, BOB AVAKIAN REVOLUTION #102: "Two Countries Within This Country -- And the Whole Damn System's Got To Go!" Listen to the full message below -- and Join us Thursday at the Quaker House for discussion of this crucial message.  We want to hear your thoughts. click image to watch video Transcript This is Bob Avakian—REVOLUTION—number 102. This election brings out sharply that there really are “two countries” within this country. This, in a real sense, is an extension of a fundamental division that has existed since the beginning of the so-called “United States” of America, with its foundation in slavery and genocide—a division which has never really been resolved throughout the history of this country—not through the Civil War in the 1860s, and not through changes that were brought about through the 1960s and in the years following. As I have said before, there is a direct line from the pro-slavery Confederacy, at the time of the Civil War, to the fascism of today, with its determination to make America once again openly, aggressively white supremacist, male supremacist, and anti-LGBT people. This division into “two countries” can find no good resolution under this system. The election of an outright fascist, Donald Trump, as the head of this system is a powerful demonstration of this. There can be no good resolution under this system because, despite the false promises and lies of the “mainstream section” of the ruling class (represented by the Democratic Party) the whole system rests on ruthless exploitation—and oppression based on race, sex and gender, the plunder of the environment and of people throughout the world, as well as the devastation of war—all this is built into the ruling system of capitalism-imperialism. One “country” within this country—those who support fascism—demand and celebrate this oppression and madness.  The other “country” wants an end to this oppression and madness—but there can be no end to it, under this system. And so long as things are on the terms of this system—and limited within the confines of this system—the fascists will have initiative which decent people cannot have. Why? Because fascism is one way this system of capitalism-imperialism can be ruled and function, and there is a powerful section of the ruling class that is determined to impose this fascism. But putting an end to all the injustices that decent people want to see ended cannot happen under this system. And, although there is a section of the ruling class that opposes this fascism, this opposition is always on the terms and within the limits of this system. There is no part of the ruling class that will risk the kind of upheaval that will be necessary to defeat this fascism; and no part of the ruling class that will seek to bring about an end to the monstrous atrocities and profound injustices which are built into this system and which this system cannot do without. And that is just the point: Things must no longer remain, and continue to be confined, on the terms and within the limits of this system and its ruling class. It is time, and urgently so, for the only positive, revolutionary resolution of all this: time to resolve this fundamental divide by finally and decisively defeating the fascist “country”—and doing so as part of putting an end to this whole system which has given rise to this fascism, along with all its other atrocities. (And, as for people who actually have been misled into being part of the fascist “country”: decisively defeating this fascism, as part of doing away with this whole system, will provide the best means for jolting awake those misled people and winning them to become part of a revolutionary and emancipating resolution to all this.) As I said at the beginning: This is not a time for demoralization and despair, resulting from accepting things on the terms of this system. This is a time for righteous anger and revolutionary determination—a time to finally bring about a decisive, emancipating, revolutionary resolution to this conflict which, in a very real sense, has marked the “United States” from the time of its founding in slavery and genocide to the time, today, when it is the world’s most deadly and destructive oppressor, dangerously threatening the future, and the very existence, of humanity. Time to take up and fight for what we revcoms (revolutionary communists) have clearly put forward in WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM: The Existing Capitalist-Imperialist System And Institutions Of Government In This Country Must Be Abolished And Dismantled—And Replaced By A New, Socialist System Based On The CONSTITUTION FOR THE NEW SOCIALIST REPUBLIC IN NORTH AMERICA.      Follow  Bob Avakian Official at Substack or any platform below   Get Bob Avakian’s Reality-Based Message of Hope Out Everywhere!   Subscribe to youtube.com/TheRevComs & hit the notification to be alerted when each episode drops.

NO ELECTION CAN LEGITIMIZE FASCISM! WE REJECT A TRUMP FASCIST AMERICA! WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM Revcom.us, November 6, 2024   Last night, Donald Trump won the Presidential election. Half this country voted for a fascist! An open white supremacist, anti-science lunatic, who ran an election campaign for President dripping with the hatred of women, vicious bloodlust against immigrants and threats of violence against those who disagree. This fascism is a product of the whole history of this country from its founding in slavery and genocide, up to today.   A system that presents a choice between the outright racist, misogynist fascist Trump and the genocidal war criminal Kamala Harris is an illegitimate system. It is this system of capitalism-imperialism that is destroying the future of the planet and threatening the survival of humanity.  In his social media message Revolution #101, the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian said: ...it is time to recognize that this system is a thoroughly rotten, monstrously criminal, massively destructive, thoroughly outmoded system (long past the time when it can represent anything positive). It is time to look seriously for solutions outside and beyond this system. It is time for a revolution to overthrow and uproot this whole system and bring into being a fundamentally different and much better system. There is the leadership for this revolution in Bob Avakian, who has developed a whole new framework for human emancipation. Follow him @BobAvakianOfficial, join the National Campaign to get the leadership he's providing via social media in front of millions. There is a strategy for this revolution, and it requires we get organized. And NOW. Get with The Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity this week to talk about what just happened, what it means, and what we must do now to struggle hard together for the future of humanity. Here’s how to start:  Check back at revcom.us this afternoon and every day Watch The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on Thursday @ 5 p.m. PST; 8 p.m. EST Read and spread the Declaration, We Need and We Demand: A Whole New Way To Live, A Fundamentally Different System on revcom.us  Become part of the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity actively and urgently working for this revolution.    Follow  Bob Avakian Official at Substack or any platform below

The Revcom Corp for the Emancipation of Humanity Invites You to   A CRUCIAL MEETING! The Choices of the 2024 Election Are Terrible Choices for Humanity — We Need a Real Revolution for the Emancipation of Humanity! Join us at 6:30PM this Tuesday, October 29th at the Quaker House in Hyde Park (5615 S. Woodlawn Ave.) for a discussion on this critical question currently facing humanity. The revolutionary leader, Bob Avakian has said:   Everything will very likely be coming to a head and coming up for grabs this year, 2024, with the presidential election this year a sharp focus of the fight between the dominating ruling class parties—Democrats and Republicans—a fight that is very likely to break all out of the bounds of the 'normal way' they exercise power over the people, and keep their whole murderous system going." This kind of deep division—and especially this bitter antagonism among the powers-that-be—has not been seen in this country since the time of the Civil War way back in the 1860s." This is not a time to be siding with one group of oppressors or another. This is a rare time—a very rare opening—a chance that may come only once in a lifetime—a chance to take advantage of the deep divisions among the ruling oppressors and go after their whole system, with the aim of bringing the whole thing down, and putting something much better in its place."   click image to watch video BOB AVAKIAN  REVOLUTION #88:  A Rare Time, and Urgent Need—for Revolution—Not Continuing Enslavement to this System September 25, 2024   Click image to watch video   BOB AVAKIAN  REVOLUTION #94:  Revolution, and the new communism—not degrading allegiance to this system—is the means to end the long nightmare for Black people and humanity as a whole.

6 Reasons to Donate to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Engaged by Millions Now by Sunsara Taylor   Why should you donate generously to the campaign to get Bob Avakian's leadership and social media dispatches @BobAvakianOfficial seen and engaged by millions of people throughout society now?   Here are six reasons:   1. If millions were listening to and debating Bob Avakian's social media dispatches @BobAvakianOfficial, we'd be prying open a society-wide debate over the question of reform vs. revolution. This is because it is simply a fact that there is no other leader in this country who is even talking about making a real revolution. So donate now!    September 28, 4pm Revcom Corps Organizing Center 2. If millions were listening to how Bob Avakian (BA) approaches world events and culture and sports and politics and more in his dispatches @BobAvakianOfficial, they'd be getting trained in a scientific, reality-based approach to understanding the society we live in and events in the world around us, instead of being whipped around and kept ignorant by conspiracy theories, religion, the idiotic woke notion that truth depends on the identity of who says something, and all sorts of other anti-scientific modes of thinking that keep people enslaved and oppressed. This would be huge! So donate now!   3. If millions were listening to and debating Bob Avakian's social media messages @BobAvakianOfficial, millions of people would be lifting their sights to, dreaming of, and fighting for the kind of liberating society and world Bob Avakian is fighting for. A world where all the chains are broken, where we are putting an end to all forms of exploitation and oppression based on race, sex, gender and class not just here but all over the world. No longer would people be trapped thinking their only choices are between a dangerous madman and a rational mass murderer and mass incarcerator running to be president of this system, both of whom are accelerating the destruction of our planet and hurtling humanity closer to the danger of nuclear war. Imagine what could be unleashed if people's sights were lifted in this way. So donate now!   4. If millions were listening to and debating Bob Avakian's social media messages @BobAvakianOfficial, this would change what people think gives life meaning. Instead of going for self, or just for "my own family" or “my own people” all while letting the horrors of this system intensify, they'd be challenged and inspired by the way Bob Avakian is giving all he can to bring about the emancipation of all of humanity with perseverance, courage, honesty and integrity. For more than 60 years, Bob Avakian has dedicated all of his talents and science and heart and commitment to making a real revolution and getting humanity all the way free. He's never settled in, but also never lost his sense of humor and beauty. He not only models all this as a person, he has built all of this into the revolution and the whole new liberating way of life for all of humanity he is fighting for. All this comes through @BobAvakianOfficial. So donate now!   5. If millions were listening to and debating Bob Avakian's social media messages @BobAvakianOfficial, you'd have millions and millions being challenged to get up off all the ugly and backwards ways of thinking that so many are caught up in. Things like way too many Black people who should know better hating on immigrants. Or progressive and radical-minded people drinking the Kamala Kool-Aid and cheering for a mass murderer and mass incarcerator. Or so-called anti-capitalists who don't even know what capitalism is. And much more! BA is cutting through all this so that people can unburden themselves of all this shit that comes from the system and rise up and play their full part in getting humanity free. So donate now!   6. If millions and millions of people were engaging with @BobAvakianOfficial soon, let's be honest: many of them would be listening reluctantly. But this revolution, and this extraordinary, unparalleled revolutionary leader, Bob Avakian—will become a reference point for them. Bob Avakian will be circulating in their minds. At the same time, there are many thousands who will be eager for his message of revolution now and take it up. Then, as the fight among the rulers intensifies and comes to a head, these millions will know where to turn when reality comes crashing into the lies and illusions that they can no longer cling to. And the thousands who have been taking up BA's leadership can be in position to lead those broader millions to rise up to bring their whole system down and bring something much better into being. Want to understand this yourself? Go to @BobAvakianOfficial, especially REVOLUTION #8-#11. As you do, donate now! There is literally nothing else—no other leader, no other campaign, no other action that could be taken—that would have this kind of transformative and positive impact on all of society at this time when the stakes could not be higher.   So all this is why you should give now and give generously to the campaign to get @BobAvakianOfficial known and engaged all throughout society. We need to place ads online to get this in front of millions who otherwise are trapped in the dark. We need to print posters and banners and stickers and fliers. This takes funds. This takes work. This takes you. Give today! DONATE NOW Announcing: We are extending the drive to raise $8,000 to promote BA's social media dispatch Revolution #81, Why I Am Not Running for President, through this coming weekend. Those funds and more should be raised by Sunday, September 29. This should enable people to go out even more broadly, and involve more and more people on a mission to raise these funds.   $8,000—raised by September 29—could put Revolution #81 in front of about two million people and garner almost 80,000 views (people who watch the video in part or in full). And this would be in combination with a concerted postering campaign.   Follow: @BobAvakianOfficial Follow: @TheRevcoms Read: www.revcom.us Watch: youtube.com/TheRevComs   Follow Bob Avakian Official at Substack or any platform below
