Stop the Crackdown on Pro-Palestinian Student Protest! Stop the U.S.-Israeli Genocide Against Palestinians!

 

 

From the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity:

 

Stop the Crackdown on Pro-Palestinian Student Protest
Stop the U.S.-Israeli Genocide Against Palestinians!
Anti-Zionism Is Not Antisemitism
From Palestine to the U.S., Revolution, Nothing Less!

Across the country, righteous students protesting the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians are being met with vicious, illegitimate repression! At Columbia University, 108 students were arrested, suspended and thrown out of student housing for nonviolently occupying their campus lawn. It matters that in the face of this, more students stepped out to resurrect their encampment! It matters that from Michigan to Minnesota to Texas and California and beyond, students set up sister encampments protesting the genocide in Gaza!

Now these brave young people face slander, suspensions, brutality and more than 400 arrests! This comes on the heels of fascist Congressional witch-hunts that drove out the presidents of Harvard and UPenn and drove Columbia’s president to step up her vicious crack-down.

What is driving this outrageous repression?

And more, why is the U.S. government—both ruling parties—hellbent on backing the intensifying genocide in Gaza which has claimed more than 34,000 lives and driven 2.3 million Palestinians to the brink of starvation?

In speaking of the repression now going on against pro-Palestinian students on U.S. campuses, the revolutionary communist leader Bob Avakian (BA) has said:

Why is this happening? Because fundamental interests of U.S. capitalism-imperialism are at stake. Because Israel plays a “special role” as a heavily armed bastion of support for U.S. imperialism in a strategically important part of the world (the “Middle East”). And Israel has been a key force in the commission of atrocities which have helped to maintain the oppressive rule of U.S. imperialism in many other parts of the world.

And this repression is happening because representatives of the ruling class in this country have a definite sense that if youth especially at “elite” universities begin to seriously question and act against what this system is doing—if the system “loses the allegiance” of large numbers of those students—that can be a big factor in creating a real crisis for the system as a whole, as happened in the 1960s: a crisis that, now more than ever, this system really cannot afford, when the whole country is already being torn apart by deep divisions, with bitter clashes right among the ruling powers. So, at the same time as they are bitterly divided, the ruling powers of this country are firmly united in their determination to punish and intimidate especially students at elite universities who have stepped forward to protest the genocidal slaughter of Palestinians. The ruling class is desperate to prevent opposition to its fundamental interests from spreading and involving masses of people, from all parts of society.

All this reveals, more “nakedly” than in “normal situations,” the actual dictatorship behind the outer shell of “democracy” of this country—and it shines a light on the strategic weakness of this system, when it does lose the allegiance of major sections of the people and this has the potential to spread to all parts of society, including among the dominant institutions of this system.

WHO IS BOB AVAKIAN? Bob Avakian (BA) has been a revolutionary fighter, thinker and leader since the 1960’s, and he has developed the new communism. This includes the analysis and strategy for a real revolution in this country (yes, a “physical revolution”) and BA has led the work to make that real, at the soonest possible time. As such, he is loved by many—and he is slandered by people who have a stake in the current system or can see no further than getting such a stake.
BA has written on the Middle East and the crucial struggle against U.S. imperialism and its “attack dog” Israel for over 40 years. His current series of social media dispatches scientifically confront the hardest questions, and puts forward a revolutionary solution.
Engage. Make up your own mind. Be serious—for the world is very very serious right now.

The madness of this system of capitalism-imperialism cannot be fixed or reformed. From the heartless U.S./Israeli slaughter and starvation of Palestinians… to the threats of nuclear annihilation... from the city streets, hell-hole prisons and police who terrorize and kill Black and Brown people... to the denial of women's right to abortion and attacks on LGBTQ people...

The problem is the system of capitalism-imperialism.

When the parasitic luxury of some rests on a world where whole countries are turned into sweatshops… a world of child labor and sexual slavery… a world where millions of migrants and refugees are driven to risk everything to cross borders—only to then be demonized and hunted like animals:

This system must be overthrown.

When this system has poisoned the air and water, destroying the environment...  when its rulers threaten nuclear war… and the very future of humanity is in real danger:

We need and we demand a whole new way to live, a fundamentally different system!

Some say that nothing can change and it's out of our hands. 

NO!

On May Day 2024, we declare: We will dare to fight and win a future worthy of our children and all of humanity.

In powerful social media messages, the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian has done what nobody in this country has ever done before. He breaks down for everyone why we need a real revolution and how this revolution can be made—not in some far-off time, but right in this time. Listen to these messages at @BobAvakianOfficial on all social media platforms.

Bob Avakian says:

With thousands organized into the ranks of the revolution, millions can be won to revolution; and with millions won to revolution, there could be a real possibility for this revolution to win.

Be one of those thousands needed NOW! Join The REVCOM CORPS for the Emancipation of Humanity, and become a part of making this revolution known as a growing, organized, disciplined, bold, and fearless force. Learn about the revolution while spreading the word that there is a way to change the world.

If you have the heart to fight for something worth fighting for, 

Be There May Day 2024!

Revolutionary leader Bob Avakian says: 

I’m talking about a real revolution—a revolution to actually overthrow this system we are now forced to live under, and bring something much better into being—a whole different way to live and to relate to each other, a completely different system, working to meet the fundamental needs of the masses of people, and to serve their highest interests in putting an end to all oppression and exploitation, everywhere in the world. A revolution, and a radically new society, that really is liberating and uplifting.
And I’m talking about a real revolution in this time, not in some far off distant time.

Break The Chains! Unleash The Fury Of Women As A Mighty Force For Revolution! INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 2024

 

 

Break The Chains! 
Unleash The Fury Of Women As A Mighty Force For Revolution!
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 2024

Come together in fury, defiance and joy to Break ALL the Chains!

Flashmob of “Battlecry to Break the Chains” dance at International Women’s Day 2023.
Flashmob of “Battlecry to Break the Chains” dance at International Women’s Day 2023.   

In Los Angeles:

Saturday, March 9
2 pm Venice Boardwalk at Windward
Rally, March and Flashmob Dance

    International Women’s Day 2024: Say NO! to the patriarchal degradation, dehumanization, and subjugation of all women everywhere, and all oppression based on gender or sexual orientation!

    NO! to the Christian fascist onslaught on women's right to abortion and on the very existence of LGBTQ people across the U.S.!

    NO! to Islamic fundamentalists in Iran and beyond forcing women to veil themselves under threat of jail and even death!

    NO! to femicide—the murder of women just for being women—across Africa, Latin America and everywhere on this planet!

    NO! to women being told day in and day out to “hold the family together”—even as all too many suffer abuse within the family!

    NO! to rape and the violent degradation of sexual slavery, prostitution and pornography!

    NO! to the vicious exploitation of billions of women worldwide in sweatshops and farmlands and service jobs!

    All this oppression is woven into the system of capitalism-imperialism. The simple truth is this: Capitalism and Patriarchyyou can't end one without ending the other.

    The liberating truth is this: We can forge a whole new world, of emancipated, freely cooperating and flourishing human beings of all genders. That’s a scientific fact! But this can only happen with a real revolution.
     
    We need and we demand: REVOLUTION, for a whole new way to live and a fundamentally different system.
    Bob Avakian on the Overturning of Roe, Christian Fascism & Revolution (An Excerpt)

    International Women’s Day 2024: Revolution is more possiblenot in some far-off time, but in this time!

    The rulers of this system are at each other's throats. Trump and other fascists are shredding norms to impose a white supremacist, woman-hating, America-first nightmare far worse than any of us have lived through. Biden and the Democrats pose as champions of women and the people, while compromising away our rights and backing genocide in Gaza. The fight between them is likely to get all out of control in 2024. This is NOT the time to choose the “lesser of two evils,” or to desperately fight to preserve what has been. NO!

    Now is the time to take advantage of the deep divisions among these rulers to go after their whole system, with the aim of bringing it down and putting something much better in its place.

    Bob Avakian, the revolutionary leader who has brought forward a new framework for human emancipation, has said: “Radical change is coming: Will it be emancipating, or enslaving—revolutionary, or reactionary?”

    THAT is up to us… and to YOU.

    Now is the time for YOU to get with this revolution!


    Women Are Not Bitches, Ho's, Punching Bags, Sex Objects or Baby-Making Machines! 
    Women Are Full Human Beings!


    Forced Motherhood Is Female Enslavement! 
    Abortion on Demand and Without Apology!


    We Need and We Demand Revolution—A Whole New Way to Live, A Fundamentally Different System!


    From Iran to Latin America to the U.S. and Everywhere on the Planet:
    Break the Chains! Unleash the Fury of Women as a Mighty Force for Revolution!

    NO to Stupor Tuesday! YES to REVOLUTION!

     

    NO to STUPOR TUESDAY! 

    YES to REVOLUTION!


    Super Tuesday is the day 15 states hold their presidential primaries.  But the reality is that this Tuesday is not “super,” it is a way to keep you in a stupor of thinking that your real choices this year are between:

    —Genocide Joe Biden, funding and backing Israel’s relentless slaughter of the people of Gaza while he threatens war with China and wages a proxy war in Ukraine with Russia;

    —MAGA-Fascist Trump, threatening open violence against immigrants, LGBT people, and others while violently enforcing white supremacy, the patriarchal oppression of women and xenophobia, and tearing up the rule of law.

    No! Our real choice is not between Biden and Trump who—despite their deep divides—both represent this system of capitalism-imperialism. Our real choice is between this system and a real revolution that overthrows this system and establishes a whole new way to live.

    Here’s how the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian explains it:

    The presidential election this year, 2024, will be a sharp focus of the fight between these 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 system going.

    This could lead to armed clashes between the opposing sections of the ruling class, which could even develop into large-scale military confrontation—a new kind of civil war. In any case, this kind of profound crisis within the ruling system is bound to affect every part of society, and every major institution of this system, including its armed forces—with the real potential for major splits in those institutions.

    With those two ruling class forces fighting each other, there could be an opening for a revolutionary force to move to overthrow the system that is at the root of the horrors today. But this force needs to be built up now.

    Break out of the stupor! Get with the real revolution.

    Learn about why this system of capitalism-imperialism can NOT be reformed and how a revolution could actually be made up against such a powerful force by following @BobAvakianOfficial on social media. Listen to the Youtube playlist, Real Revolution, In This Time: What the Powers-That-Be Don't Want You to Know.
