A BASIC PRINCIPLE ON THE WAR IN UKRAINE click here to download pdf by Bob Avakian  Certainly, the big power bullying and aggression by Russia, with its invasion of Ukraine a clear example, is something that all decent people should oppose. But no decent person should be joining in with the U.S. imperialists in their rivalry with Russian imperialism. For reasons I will get into here, it is utter, disgusting hypocrisy for the U.S. imperialists, and their media mouthpieces and other representatives, to be self-righteously condemning this Russian invasion, when the U.S. is the country which has, by far, carried out the most invasions and other acts of violent interference in other countries....read more “Shameless American Chauvinism: ‘Anti-Authoritarianism’ as a ‘Cover’ for Supporting U.S. Imperialism” “Imperialist Parasitism and ‘Democracy’: Why So Many Liberals and Progressives Are Shameless Supporters of ‘Their’ Imperialism.”  by Bob Avakian, Revolutionary Leader and Author of the New Communism These articles provide invaluable orientation and are available on revcom.us.

Hidden History of Pre-Roe Septic Abortion Wards in Chicago

The Supreme Court is poised to strike down Roe v. Wade or seriously restrict women’s right to abortion. Many of us who lived through a pre-Roe era know that women will seek to end a pregnancy through some very unsafe ways, especially young people, and many will die with botched abortions.

On March 3, Thursday, Rise Up 4 AbortionRights coalition and others will hold a speak-out at Stroger Hospital (formerly Cook County Hospital) to bring out the hidden history of the pre-Roe v. Wade Septic Abortion Wards.

Before abortion was legal in Chicago, at Cook County Hospital’s Septic Abortion Ward, there were 15 to 20 women brought in daily from botched, self-inflicted abortions that had become infected. Poor, Black, Brown, and rural women were disproportionately affected. An OB-GYN doctor recalls, “I called the morgue every week because somebody had died.”

A doctor who worked in an emergency room in the days before Roe said: “We had girls coming in every night with 105 degree fever, sick from illegal abortions and home remedies.” One case he recalls is of a woman searching for some way to abort who took a friend’s advice and inserted soap into her vagina. “I’ve seen tetanus infections because abortionists used dirty instruments. I’ve seen women with their bowels hanging down from their vaginas because the abortionist didn’t know what he was doing. I’ve seen all these things. Our society is so forgetful.”

We refuse to let this happen again! Our testimony will bring sharply into focus that when abortion is illegal women die. These barbaric and cruel conditions women face are today hidden from public view and cover over the horror of denying women the right to abortions. Shining a spotlight on this history will bring an understanding of these outrages and propel people into building for and participating in International Women’s Day, March 8, 3 pm at State and Jackson to demand:

WE REFUSE TO LET THE U.S. SUPREME COURT DENY WOMEN’S HUMANITY AND DECIMATE THEIR RIGHTS!
ABORTION ON DEMAND AND WITHOUT APOLOGY!

AND WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE REVOLUTION HUMANITY SO URGENTLY NEEDS?                                     >>NEW DATE: Fri, March 4, 7pm<<                            In-person and live streamed—                                             Watch                 Proof of vaccination upon entry and mask-wearing

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.]
