    International Women’s Day 2024: Say NO! to the patriarchal degradation, dehumanization, and subjugation of all women everywhere, and all oppression based on gender or sexual orientation!

    NO! to the Christian fascist onslaught on women's right to abortion and on the very existence of LGBTQ people across the U.S.!

    NO! to Islamic fundamentalists in Iran and beyond forcing women to veil themselves under threat of jail and even death!

    NO! to femicide—the murder of women just for being women—across Africa, Latin America and everywhere on this planet!

    NO! to women being told day in and day out to “hold the family together”—even as all too many suffer abuse within the family!

    NO! to rape and the violent degradation of sexual slavery, prostitution and pornography!

    NO! to the vicious exploitation of billions of women worldwide in sweatshops and farmlands and service jobs!

    All this oppression is woven into the system of capitalism-imperialism. The simple truth is this: Capitalism and Patriarchyyou can't end one without ending the other.

    The liberating truth is this: We can forge a whole new world, of emancipated, freely cooperating and flourishing human beings of all genders. That’s a scientific fact! But this can only happen with a real revolution.
     
    We need and we demand: REVOLUTION, for a whole new way to live and a fundamentally different system.
    Bob Avakian on the Overturning of Roe, Christian Fascism & Revolution (An Excerpt)

    International Women’s Day 2024: Revolution is more possiblenot in some far-off time, but in this time!

    The rulers of this system are at each other's throats. Trump and other fascists are shredding norms to impose a white supremacist, woman-hating, America-first nightmare far worse than any of us have lived through. Biden and the Democrats pose as champions of women and the people, while compromising away our rights and backing genocide in Gaza. The fight between them is likely to get all out of control in 2024. This is NOT the time to choose the “lesser of two evils,” or to desperately fight to preserve what has been. NO!

    Now is the time to take advantage of the deep divisions among these rulers to go after their whole system, with the aim of bringing it down and putting something much better in its place.

    Bob Avakian, the revolutionary leader who has brought forward a new framework for human emancipation, has said: “Radical change is coming: Will it be emancipating, or enslaving—revolutionary, or reactionary?”

    THAT is up to us… and to YOU.

    Now is the time for YOU to get with this revolution!


    Women Are Not Bitches, Ho's, Punching Bags, Sex Objects or Baby-Making Machines! 
    Women Are Full Human Beings!


    Forced Motherhood Is Female Enslavement! 
    Abortion on Demand and Without Apology!


    We Need and We Demand Revolution—A Whole New Way to Live, A Fundamentally Different System!


    From Iran to Latin America to the U.S. and Everywhere on the Planet:
    Break the Chains! Unleash the Fury of Women as a Mighty Force for Revolution!

    NO to Stupor Tuesday! YES to REVOLUTION!

     

    NO to STUPOR TUESDAY! 

    YES to REVOLUTION!


    Super Tuesday is the day 15 states hold their presidential primaries.  But the reality is that this Tuesday is not “super,” it is a way to keep you in a stupor of thinking that your real choices this year are between:

    —Genocide Joe Biden, funding and backing Israel’s relentless slaughter of the people of Gaza while he threatens war with China and wages a proxy war in Ukraine with Russia;

    —MAGA-Fascist Trump, threatening open violence against immigrants, LGBT people, and others while violently enforcing white supremacy, the patriarchal oppression of women and xenophobia, and tearing up the rule of law.

    No! Our real choice is not between Biden and Trump who—despite their deep divides—both represent this system of capitalism-imperialism. Our real choice is between this system and a real revolution that overthrows this system and establishes a whole new way to live.

    Here’s how the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian explains it:

    The presidential election this year, 2024, will be a sharp focus of the fight between these ruling class parties—Democrats and Republicans—a fight that is very likely to break all out of the bounds of the “normal way” they exercise power over the people, and keep their whole system going.

    This could lead to armed clashes between the opposing sections of the ruling class, which could even develop into large-scale military confrontation—a new kind of civil war. In any case, this kind of profound crisis within the ruling system is bound to affect every part of society, and every major institution of this system, including its armed forces—with the real potential for major splits in those institutions.

    With those two ruling class forces fighting each other, there could be an opening for a revolutionary force to move to overthrow the system that is at the root of the horrors today. But this force needs to be built up now.

    Break out of the stupor! Get with the real revolution.

    Learn about why this system of capitalism-imperialism can NOT be reformed and how a revolution could actually be made up against such a powerful force by following @BobAvakianOfficial on social media. Listen to the Youtube playlist, Real Revolution, In This Time: What the Powers-That-Be Don't Want You to Know.

    From Palestine to the USA, Real Revolution is the Way - Join Revcom contingents at March 2 protests for Palestine

     

    REVOLUTION BOOKS
    LOS ANGELES
     


     

    As the death toll in Gaza climbs over 30,000, with starvation and disease spreading, a whole generation of children traumatized, and Israel now set to invade what has been the only semi-safe city of Rafah, escalating the slaughter to a whole new monstrous level and very possibly pushing Palestinians out of Gaza altogether… a number of pro-Palestinian organizations have put out a call for a global day of protest March 2 demanding “Hands off Rafah! Ceasefire now! Stop the genocide!”

    The Revcoms need to be there! Uniting with these demands, bringing people a revolutionary understanding of the problem and solution, and recruiting people to join the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity. Find a March 2 protest in your area and organize a Revcom contingent!

    Stop the U.S.-Backed Israeli Genocidal War Against Palestine!  The Palestinian People Must Be Free! 

    Down With the Racist Apartheid State of Israel and Its Master, U.S. Imperialism! 

    Stop the Repression, Censorship and Blacklisting of Pro-Palestinian Voices! 

    From the Imperialist U.S.A. to Palestine the People Need Real Revolution Based on the New Communism!
     

    "Why is Biden, and basically the entire government and ruling class of the U.S., supporting Israel in carrying out genocide against the Palestinian people, before the whole world? Here is the answer to that crucial question:

    "This is not because of 'the power of the Jewish lobby'—or because of some ignorant, ridiculous and outrageous notion that 'Jews are controlling everything.' It is because Israel plays a 'special role' as a heavily armed bastion of support for U.S. imperialism in a strategically important part of the world (the 'Middle East'). And Israel has been a key force in the commission of atrocities which have helped to maintain the oppressive rule of U.S. imperialism in many other parts of the world.

    "It’s the system! The system of capitalism-imperialism that Biden serves. The system he has to serve—the system that anybody and everybody has to serve if they want to hold office, and especially 'high office,' like president, within this system. That is why Biden is doing what he’s doing—what all these politicians are doing—above and beyond their more narrow personal interests.

    "It’s the system! This system of capitalism-imperialism that embodies and enforces white supremacy, patriarchal male supremacy and other brutal oppression—this system resting on ruthless life-stealing exploitation of masses of people in this country and literally billions of people worldwide, including more than 150 million children—all enforced with massive violence and destruction, of people and the environment, posing a very real threat to the future and the existence of humanity.

    "This system that needs to be overthrown at the soonest possible time, through an actual revolution."

    Follow, Listen and Share:  Critical Questions and Answers for what is to be done in this time of great horror… 
    Bob Avakian breaks down why this revolution is more possible now, and how such a revolution could actually be made.   

    "What is the legitimate way to fight against the state of Israel, and what is a just solution to all this?

    "The answer is definitely not to 'kill off all the Jews in Israel' or 'drive them into the sea.' The answer is the abolition of the state of Israel, and in its place the creation of a revolutionary state in which the government and the laws do not promote any religion and do not favor one people over another, and instead there is equality between Jews and Palestinians.

    "The answer is also definitely not the 'two-state solution' being promoted by the Biden administration. Such a 'two-state solution' would really amount to nothing more than a powerful state of Israel continuing to occupy land stolen from the Palestinian people, while the so-called 'Palestinian state' created with this 'solution' would be a bitter joke—a puppet state—merely a patchwork of separated small territories, surrounded and dominated by Israel, with the Palestinian people still subjected to terrible oppression and deprivation.

    "The answer is that the fight against the state of Israel must be waged on a revolutionary basis, with the goal of putting an end to all oppressive relations and all inequality among people based on race and nationality, sex and gender, and all relations in which one part of society exploits others. And the urgent need is for a revolutionary force to emerge to lead the struggle on that basis."

    We met our goal of $10,000 for the revcom.us website...

     

     
     
     

    We met our goal of $10,000! 

    Deep thanks to all our donors who’ve made this possible.

    But we can't let up. In this rare time when things may be coming to a head and revolution has become more possible, much more money is urgently needed.

    As one donor wrote us: 

         I donate for eight billion reasons.
         And I donate also for Rafah.

         We Do Not Have to Live Like This!

         Soothing veneer
         Seething fear
         Discontent
         Rage unspent.
       
         How will it end?
         
         Will we finally contend?

    The Revcoms have been out in the world, but much more is needed… including reaching out broadly and raising as many thousands of dollars more as we possibly can by March 1 … and helping make 2024 our year—a year of revolution!

    Actually?...Revolution IS Possible! And If This Revolution Isn't Made Soon, Humanity Is Thoroughly F*cked! - Sunsara Taylor @ UCLA: THIS Thurs 2/15

     

     



    Actually?... 

    Revolution IS Possible! 

    And If This Revolution Isn't Made Soon, Humanity Is Thoroughly F*cked!


    A talk by Sunsara Taylor

    UCLA: Thursday, February 15, Young Hall CS24

     

    The world is being radically changed. What you do—or fail to do—can make all the difference.  

    Genocide in Gaza—backed by Biden and the entire U.S. ruling class. Global climate destruction—driven by the system of capitalism-imperialism. The right to abortion wiped out. LGBTQ rights under fire. Democrats and Republi-fascists compete over who can more viciously repress and deport immigrants. Trigger-happy white supremacists, Christian fascists, and MAGA mobs get ready for civil war to wipe out all those they hate if Trump is convicted or denied the election.  

    The revolutionary leader, Bob Avakian put it straight up: We can no longer afford to allow these imperialists to continue to dominate the world and determine the destiny of humanity. And it is a scientific fact that humanity does not have to live this way.

    Only a real revolution—the actual overthrow of the entire system of capitalism-imperialism—can bring about a future fit for humanity. Yes, revolutions—especially in a country like the U.S.—are very hard and rare, but things are coming together in THESE times in a way that makes revolution more possible.  

    Sunsara Taylor will make the case:  

    • Do we really need a revolution with all it entails?   
    • What will replace this system?  
    • Why do the sharpest divisions in this country since the Civil War of the 1860s make revolution more possible now than it has been in generations?
    • What is YOUR ROLE in the fight for a liberating future for all of humanity?

    Sunsara Taylor is a fighter for a real revolution based on the new communism developed by Bob Avakian. She co-hosts The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show. She co-founded Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights which led tens of thousands into the streets against the overturning of Roe v. Wade. In 2023, she spoke to 125 people at UCLA on Woke Lunacy vs. Real Revolution.

    We Don't Have an Immigration Problem-We have an Imperialism Problem - Support the team of Revcoms on the ground at the Texas/Mexico Border

     

    We Don’t Have an Immigration Problem—We Have an Imperialism Problem!

    Support the team of Revcoms on the ground at the Texas/Mexico border!

    From the team:

    “We are in Eagle Pass, Texas bringing the message of revolution to the border. An intense fight between the openly fascist governor of Texas Greg Abbott and the mass deporting Biden administration could become a flashpoint of a bigger confrontation, but when the rulers are at each other’s throats and society is being torn apart, the choice for humanity is not to side with one oppressor or another but to rise up and make revolution. We are recruiting YOU to get organized for this revolution NOW, when we actually have a chance to win. DONATE. Imagine how much we can get revolution on the map and in the air if teams are on the ground changing the way people are seeing these momentous times.”
