What You Need to Know and Engage This Week About the World and RevolutionNovember 8, 2021 |

“For revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.” True and bitter words spoken by Frederick Douglass nearly 170 years ago. And more true, more bitter today. From Glasgow, where the inadequate and soon-to-be broken promises and shameless lies from presidents and secretaries of the “great powers” desperately try to cover over the increasingly undeniable reality of a future of hundreds of millions and perhaps billions of desperate refugees, fleeing certain death brought on by environmental destruction… to those border cities of the U.S. and Mexico where the outlines of that future are on display today—the truth of Frederick Douglass’s words rings out. |

From the courtrooms in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and Glynn County, Georgia, where the new wave of white supremacist vigilante killers stand trial and Ku Klux Klan ghosts haunt the courtrooms… to Wounded Knee, South Dakota, where the memories of the slaughter of nearly 300 Native Americans by the U.S. Army cannot be—and must never be—put to rest (see here, here, and here)… the truth of Douglass’s words ring out. But what to do in the face of that reality? How to understand the source of the problem AND the solution? For the past few weeks we have been highlighting an important series of new articles by the revolutionary leader and author of the new communism, Bob Avakian, BA. These articles get into the fundamental causes of these and other excruciating problems as well as the real solutions, and go up against all manner of false—seemingly easier—paths being taken by many who do dream of a better world. This week Bob Avakian analyzes one of the most influential of those theories among the oppressed—the doctrine of the Nation of Islam, led by Louis Farrakhan. In “THE NATION OF ISLAM: NOT A FORCE FOR—A FORCE AGAINST—EMANCIPATION…We Need a Real Revolution,” BA gets into the doctrine of the Nation of Islam (or NOI) and how that “doctrine and program actually contribute to maintaining white supremacy and other horrific oppression, including male supremacy and the patriarchal oppression of women, all of which is built into the system of capitalism-imperialism that we are now forced to live under.” When people take up one or another false path it is our responsibility to struggle with them, and to come with substance and sharpness when we do. That means taking them to the material foundations of the world, insisting on reality and a reality-based understanding of what it will take to really transform it. This article exemplifies that. So it is important to get into it, discuss it with people, and spread it to those who are desperately seeking a way out and who even more desperately need a real, scientifically grounded, solution: revolution, and the new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian. |

This week, also go here to watch Sunsara Taylor’s polemic on The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube against those who claim to defend “reproductive rights” but counsel people to stop fighting against the attempt to strip the constitutionally guaranteed right to abortion away from women… here to see how revolutionary comrades in Texas are fighting that state’s attempts to prevent its school students from learning Texas’ true—white supremacist—history…and here for other new articles in this issue.

Sustain and Donate to Revcom.us – Spread BA and Revolution at this Unprecedented Moment! Thanks in large part to the generous financial contributions of readers, we have just gone live with a major rebuild of the technology that drives the revcom.us website! Implementing this new technology provides a foundation for revcom.us to be at the core of solving a problem with great stakes for humanity at this moment. That problem is: We have – with the leadership of Bob Avakian (BA) – the vision, strategy and leadership for the real revolution humanity so desperately needs. But what we do not have is thousands now who can bring forward millions into the movement for revolution at this rare time in history when a real revolution is possible. Now a new leap in fundraising is necessary for revcom.us to leverage the new technology and urgently expand the site’s reach and impact. That in turn requires an expanded, and ever-expanding community of regular financial sustainers. Join that community today by pledging to sustain revcom.us on a monthly basis and struggling with others to do so as well! BECOME A MONTHLY SUSTAINER |
