Milk - a Reader's suggestion

11-28-2008 - We received the following suggestion from a reader:

People should definitely take the advice of the Check It Out column on Milk, the movie now playing about the life of Harvey Milk. Milk is a great movie and really needed right now! One suggestion: take whatever copies there are left of Revolution issue #148 with the cover story, “Gay Marriage: A Basic Right! A Just Demand!”

This is a powerful analysis on the depths of what's behind prop 8 and what kind of resistance is needed. At the very end of the film when the credits start rolling, stand up and do some agitation: We got a fight on our hands right now people! The Christian fascist movement has grown since Anita Bryant, and Barack Obama has conciliated with it at every chance. We must overturn the anti-gay marriage Prop 8! People have gotten in the streets and that's righteous, now we gotta stay in the streets! Get Revolution newspaper for $1 or more, this tells you what's behind Prop 8 and what's needed, including the kind of revolutionary change needed to get rid of this system once and for all.

I was with two others and we sold 30 papers in five minutes and got a couple small contributions towards Revolution.

"What we see in contention here with Jihad on the one hand and McWorld/McCrusade on the other hand, are historically outmoded strata among colonized and oppressed humanity up against historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system. These two reactionary poles reinforce each other, even while opposing each other. If you side with either of these ‘outmodeds,’ you end up strengthening both."

Bob Avakian, Chairman of the RCP,USA From the talk, “Why We’re in the Situation We’re in Today… And What to Do About It: A Thoroughly Rotten System and the Need for Revolution”

"In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality."
