The Trials of Fascist Donald Trump, and the Criminal Nature of the Whole System, by Bob Avakian

 

In This Issue… September 25, 2023 THE TRIALS OF FASCIST DONALD TRUMP, AND THE CRIMINAL NATURE OF THE WHOLE SYSTEM, by Bob Avakian A Letter to Revcoms and Everyone Else Who Will Be Spreading Allegiance Acquittal of Ken Paxton and Accelerating Aggression of Christian Fascism This System Doesn’t Give a Damn About Children Sights and Sounds of Jina Uprising Anniversary Actions Worldwide And much more.... Welcome to the September 25, 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: Read the full declaration Order bundles and distribute everywhere   Read the text of proclamation issued May 1, 2023 Get PDFs for printing here Watch the Bob Avakian Interviews here   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.
