Liberals have an Oedipal complex: It's not that they want to sleep with their mothers—it's that they willfully blind themselves.

Bob Avakian
Chairman of the
Revolutionary Communist Party, USA


 

From two young revolutionaries:


We Call
Bullshit

Far too many people—including those who consider themselves radicals and progressives and say that they want to change the world—choose to dismiss Avakian and his work without even the pretense of engagement: We Call Bullshit!
