 At
the beginning of 2012, an in-depth interview with Bob Avakian, Chairman
of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, was conducted over a period
of several days by A. Brooks, a younger-generation revolutionary who has
been inspired by the leadership and body of work of Bob Avakian and the
new synthesis of communism this has brought forward. Brooks is the
author of "God The Original Fascist"
(a series of articles which appeared in Revolution in 2005, and is
available at revcom.us). From the outset and through the course of this
interview, Brooks posed probing questions, dealing with a wide range of
subjects, including: the challenges of building a movement for
revolution in a powerful imperialist country like the U.S., and
initiating a new stage of communist revolution in a world marked by
profound inequalities and antagonisms, and repeated upheavals, but also
the weakness of communist forces at this time; the content of the new
synthesis of communism, its vision of a radically different and
emancipating society and world, and how this applies to many different
spheres of society and social life, such as art and culture and
intellectual inquiry and ferment; previous historical experience of the
revolutionary and communist movements; and the personal experience, as
well as broader social experience, which led Avakian to become a
communist and contributed to his development as a communist leader. The
fact that Avakian did not know in advance what the questions would be,
and that many of them came up through the course of the interview
itself, adds to the liveliness of the interview and the living sense of
the method with which Avakian digs into, examines from many angles, and
"breaks down" the kinds of far-reaching and often complex questions
which were posed in this interview and which have to be grappled with in
confronting the challenges of radically transforming the world through
communist revolution.
