Look at Gaza! The U.S. is backing a heartless genocide of Palestinians! The U.S. is supplying the bombs, the funds, and the diplomatic cover for Israel to slaughter nearly 37,000 people. Every university has been destroyed. Hospitals lack fuel, equipment and sanitation. 1.9 million Palestinians face starvation.
Look at the police of this country! Every day police terrorize, brutalize and KILL Black and Brown people! While the prisons overflow with oppressed people, killer cops are almost never sent to jail.
Look at the blood-soaked U.S./Mexican border! Desperate human beings line up every day. Most have been driven from their homelands because of poverty, wars, and climate destruction fueled by U.S. imperialism. But when they reach this country, they are demonized and face detention, deportation, and even death.
July 4: Should we celebrate America founded on slavery and genocide?? America, built on the broken bodies and lives of billions of people worldwide? America, which has stripped women of the right to abortion and demonizes LGBTQ people? America, which is number one in destroying the planet and facing off against its imperialist rivals, increasing the threat of nuclear war threatening humanity's very existence? NO! AMERICA WAS NEVER GREAT!
This July 4th, we will lift our sights to a whole new way we could be living through a real revolution that overthrows the current system of capitalism-imperialism and replaces it with a socialist system.
The revolutionary leader Bob Avakian has written a Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, a liberating document to replace the oppressive U.S. Constitution. This Constitution provides a sweeping vision, a firm foundation and concrete blueprint for bringing into being a society, and ultimately a world, free from all forms of slavery, all exploitation and oppression based on class, race, sex and gender, all relations in which one part of humanity is subordinated to and dominated by others.
To make this real, we need a revolution. This is possible—not in some far-off time, but right in this time.
This July 4th, we will not put our hands on our hearts and pledge allegiance to the U.S. and its blood-soaked flag. Instead, we will open our hearts and our minds to the liberating future we can win through a real revolution, and we will get organized to make it real.
