Make revcom.us the Go-to Place for People Seeking Answers
September 15, 2013 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
There are important battles over the truth raging in U.S. society right now around major questions facing people in this country and the world—battles over understanding what is really motivating the U.S. imperialists to attack Syria and what it would mean for the people of the world if they are allowed to carry through on this crime; and battles over how to understand the continuing reality of the centuries-long brutal oppression of the African-American people in U.S. society and what it will take to end it—to name just two key struggles over what is true and what is not that are raging today.
Revcom.us has joined the struggle over these and other critical questions with very important articles and analysis (see, for example, "Obama's Speech on Syria: Lies to Justify an Immoral War"; "Only Worse Suffering and Horrors Can Result From a U.S. Attack on Syria"; and "On Obama's August 28 Speech: The Battle Over the Truth About the African-American Experience and Present-Day Reality") No one else is speaking to things and getting at the truth of things the way revcom.us does. But nowhere near enough people are finding out about these articles and reading them. These articles need to be contending in society and they need to be seen and read by tens and hundreds of thousands of people. Revcom.us needs to become the go-to place on the web for people who are looking for answers and seeking out philosophies. And we need to start making that happen. Email the links to these articles out right now to everyone you know and ask them to read them and pass them on to everyone they know.
Then the next time a new debate or crisis breaks out—or the next time a particularly provocative and must-read piece comes out at revcom—do it again. People will have their thinking regularly challenged and provoked by these articles, and then some will go further and start digging into and exploring all the rest of the things that can be found at revcom: the revolutionary analysis, exposure and theory, and the reenvisioned communism of Bob Avakian that is at the heart of being able to bring forward another way in the world that is so desperately needed. As the RCP’s statement on the strategy for revolution speaks to: all of this “enables people to really understand and act to radically change the world...”
Much more fully wielding and popularizing Revolution newspaper and revcom.us in this and many other ways is one of the critical elements of carrying out the strategy for revolution. (For more on this, see On the Strategy for Revolution.)
