Revolution: A Real Chance To Win, Part One: We Are Serious. By Bob Avakian

 

In This Issue… July 31, 2023 WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM BA on Fight the Power, and Transform the People, For Revolution August 6: We Declare No More! The Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the U.S. Were Crimes Against Humanity! and much more.. Welcome to the July 31, 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 Two Systems.
