In This Issue… February 13, 2023 |

Welcome to the February 13 issue of Revolution. The situation around the world is, literally, explosive. This has been a week of wars and threats of war, of ongoing struggle, and of severe repression. It has been a week of shocks and jolts—both natural and political. It has been a week in which revolutionaries have been on the move. We have new and important coverage on much of this, listed in the table of contents below. |
We strive to ground all of this coverage in the science, strategy and vision brought forward by Bob Avakian, BA, the most important thinker and leader in the world today. The method and approach developed by BA enables us to analyze the underlying dynamics and driving forces of events, to go up against and lay bare the false paths that are out there, and to lay the foundations of the revolution humanity so urgently needs. The race against time we face is one of bringing forward millions for revolution in the next few years to meet the challenge of making revolution in these times. The keys to this are laid out by BA in a number of critical works for this period, especially Something Terrible, Or Something Truly Emancipating: Profound Crisis, Deepening Divisions, The Looming Possibility Of Civil War—And The Revolution That Is Urgently Needed. A Necessary Foundation, A Basic Roadmap For This Revolution, and now, in the recent Bob Avakian Interviews on The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube. Without grounding yourself in and returning to these works, along with other critical works for this whole period (for example, go here for a recent piece exposing the genocidal character of U.S. and here for why “common sense” is often wrong and how a scientific approach shows revolution is possible), you won’t really know what’s going on or why—with all the horrors today—revolution is actually more possible. And you won’t know how to realize that possibility. |
Lastly, on Sunday, February 19 (5 pm Eastern, 4 pm Central, 2 pm Pacific), join the livestream for the $100,000 Fund Drive to Put Revolution on the Map in 2023—spread the word and bring others to this livestream. Table of Contents for This Issue |

WWW.REVCOM.US/REVOLUTION NEWSPAPER brings alive a scientific analysis of major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how different events and developments relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie in relation to all this, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this and what the goals of that revolution are, how different viewpoints and programs relate, positively or negatively, to the revolution that is needed, and how people can move, and are moving, to build toward that revolution. Revcom.us/Revolution is the guide, the pivot, the crucial tool in drawing forward, orienting, training, and organizing thousands, and influencing millions—fighting the power, and transforming the people, for revolution—hastening and preparing for the time when we can go for the whole thing, with a real chance to win.
