DRAFT ARABIC TRANSLATION OF 'COMMUNISM: THE BEGINNING OF A NEW STAGE,' MANIFESTO FROM THE RCP, USA NOW AVAILABLE
We are happy to announce the publication of a draft version of an Arabic translation of the Manifesto from the RCP, USA, "Communism: The Beginning of a New Stage." We thank the reader who translated this, and the many people who contributed their efforts to going over the translation. And we ask anyone fluent in both languages to contribute their thinking on how to make the translation even better.
But the main thing, right now, is that we ask everyone to help get this draft translation out to Arabic-speaking people—at a time when people's uprisings are opening up new hopes and an urgent need for a scientific understanding of why the world is the way it is... why and how it changes... and what is necessary for this change to be truly emancipatory. Bob Avakian, the Chairman of the RCP, USA, recently wrote that this Manifesto is a critical part of a whole body of work that strives "to draw as deeply and fully as possible the critical lessons from the historical experience of the communist revolution and the socialist societies it has brought into being—the very real and great achievements, and the serious errors and setbacks—and to learn from the broader experience of human society and its historical development, in order to contribute all we can to the advance of the revolutionary struggle and the emancipation of oppressed people throughout the world."
