THIS WEEK:   Three Key Points on the Imperialist—and Fascist—Logic of the Trump Tax Bill, with Raymond Lotta  We'll speak with Raymond Lotta, who recently wrote, "The new tax law is NOT principally a handout, motivated by corporate greed—although greedy hands are seeking to maximize and game its benefits, which are utterly skewed to the wealthy. This tax bill is a conscious and strategic move to deal with economic contradictions and imperialist great-power needs." Raymond Lotta is a revolutionary intellectual and an advocate for Bob Avakian’s new synthesis of communism.  Read his article "Three Key Points on the Imperialist—and Fascist—Logic of the Trump Tax Bill" at revcom.us HERE.
