WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS! WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT SLAVERY IN ANY FORM! Get ready to celebrate revolutionary internationalist MAY DAY 2021.

This is our 50th episode! And at the heart of it will be "A Declaration, A Call To Get Organized Now For A Real Revolution." We must seize the time, these rare times in which revolution is possible, to organize and prepare for a real revolution to free humanity here and all over the world from this people-killing, planet-destroying, spirit-crushing system of capitalism-imperialism.

Plus, Bob Avakian on internationalism!

And the hidden story of mass G.I. resistance to the U.S.’s war against the people of Vietnam, brought alive through an interview with revolutionary Vietnam vet Joe Urgo and historical footage.

In this episode:

* Commentary from host Andy Zee on the occasion of May 1st.

* Sunsara Taylor and Andy Zee highlight sections from "A Declaration, A Call To Get Organized Now For A Real Revolution" and discuss the bold assertion that we need to get organized now for a real revolution.

*An excerpt from Bob Avakian's 2018 speech Why We Need An Actual Revolution And How We Can Really Make Revolution on what we need to do now to get organized for a real revolution.

* Revolution Clubs nationwide read the Points of Attention, which are basic principles that members uphold and live by.

* An excerpt from Bob Avakian’s 2012 speech BA Speaks: Revolution—Nothing Less! in which he discusses “internationalism” and what it means to be an internationalist.

* On the 50th anniversary of Dewey Canyon III, protests led by anti-war veterans that shook DC and the whole country, we bring you a powerful interview with Joe Urgo.

* Sunsara and Andy on GOING ALL OUT for May 1st!

DONATE to the revolution.

From the genocide in Gaza, to the growing threat of world war between nuclear powers, to escalating environmental devastation… the capitalist-imperialist system ruling over us is a horror for billions around the world and is tearing up the fabric of life on earth. Now the all-out battle within the U.S. ruling class, between fascist Republicans and war criminal Democrats, is coming to a head—likely during, or before, the coming elections—ripping society apart unlike anything since the Civil War.

Bob Avakian (BA), revolutionary leader and author of the new communism, has developed a strategy to prepare for and make revolution. He’s scientifically analyzed that this is a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible, and has laid out the sweeping vision, solid foundation and concrete blueprint for “what comes next,” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

The website revcom.us follows and applies that leadership and is essential to all this. We post new materials from BA and curate his whole body of work. We apply the science he’s developed to analyze and expose every key event in society, every week. Revcom.us posts BA’s timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists), including his social media posts which break this down for people every week and sometimes more. We act as a guiding and connecting hub for the growing revcom movement nationwide: not just showing what’s being done, but going into what’s right and what’s wrong and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force.

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but goes up to a whole different level!

So what should you give to make 2024 our year—a year of revolution?
