Donate to: PUT REVOLUTION ON THE MAP IN 2023! As the world burns, do you hunger for a future fit for human beings and the diversity of life on the planet?  Threats of nuclear Armageddon… racist murdering cops, abortion-banning theocrats, anti-LGBTQ terror… All this will only get worse unless and until we make a revolution to get rid of the system of capitalism enforcing and furthering this nightmare. To build this revolution... to make this revolution known... to raise people's sights requires your financial support. The revcoms have put forward a Declaration, WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM. A whole different way of living is possible: a whole different way to organize society, with a radically different economic foundation and political system, emancipating relations among people and an uplifting culture—all of this oriented to meeting the basic needs and fulfilling the highest interests of the masses of people. In this rare time when the rulers of this country are deeply divided and cannot “hold the country together”—the revolution we are working for is urgently necessary—and more possible. We revcoms, revolutionary communists, have a serious plan to bring forward and lead thousands and then millions to make revolution to defeat this monstrous system—to bring about a new kind of society based on the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, authored by the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian (BA). A society aiming for the emancipation of humanity from all exploitation, from all forms of oppression, from the destruction of the environment, and from all antagonistic relations between people.  Right now, we are working urgently to put this revolution on the map. This requires funds on a major scale. We urge you to read the full call to donate and participate…spread the call and this declaration in the streets, social media, email, texting or phoning... Read more Léalo en español If the determination to wake those who just want to sleep, if the courage to stand against the powers-that-be, if the bold resolve to seize this rare time so that humanity can be free… if this moves and provokes you, donate to the real revolution.  At a time when the very fate of the planet is in the balance, DONATE to the force willing to stand up and say “WE will dare to seize a future fit for humanity”… As part of putting revolution on the map—changing the debate in society—two important campus tours need your support: The “Woke Lunacy vs. Real Revolution Tour” is taking on the destructive “woke” culture and its demands for “safe spaces,” its tear down, cancelling of individuals based on “identity.” All this paralyzes and intimidates people from standing up against injustice and from raising their sights to the urgent need for fundamental change. Campuses should instead be crackling with debate over the source of—and real solution to—the outrages this oppressive society keeps spewing forth. The "Raymond Lotta Fall Campus Speaking Tour" is opening up a big debate about the past and future of communist revolution—putting forward the great and unprecedented accomplishments of the first communist revolutions, their problems and limitations, and how the new communism developed by Bob Avakian opens up the possibility of doing much better in making revolution in today’s world.  (To donate to either of these tours you can earmark your donation.

Putting an End to Exploitation, and All Oppression – by Bob Avakian

 

In This Issue… August 28, 2023 >>Bob Avakian: PUTTING AN END TO EXPLOITATION, AND ALL OPPRESSION >>Labor Day Weekend: Make A Giant Step Toward Putting Revolution On The Map >>The Murderous Assault on LGBTQ People—And What’s Needed Now >>The Horror in Jacksonville, the Liberation of Black People, and the Revolution We Need and much more… Welcome to the August 28, 2023 issue of Revolution. We strive to ground all the coverage at revcom.us 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, 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, 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 go to work on realizing that possibility.  Table of Contents: Major Declaration from the Revcoms In the name of the people… In the name of humanity… We Declare and Demand: The Existing Capitalist-Imperialist System And Institutions Of Government In This Country Must Be Abolished And Dismantled—And Replaced By A New, Socialist System Based On The CONSTITUTION FOR THE NEW SOCIALIST REPUBLIC IN NORTH AMERICA Read the full declaration Order bundles and distribute everywhere Read the text of proclamation issued May 1, 2023 Get PDFs of the broadsheet for printing: Cover/Back/Centerfold Up Close and Personal With Bob Avakian Heart and Soul & Hard-Core For Revolution A Rare Appearance on The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show A Message to Revcoms and Everyone Else Yearning for a Better World: THIS Is a “Game-Changer”: The Bob Avakian Interviews  (Part 1/Part 2/Part 3/Part 4) Two Systems.
