Food for Thought:
On the Endless Flow of LIES at the Republican Convention
| revcom.us
All bourgeois politicians/representatives of the capitalist-imperialist system lie when they feel it is necessary in pursuit of their objectives; but the fascists, with Trump the concentrated example of this, lie regularly and systematically and as a basic means of communication—that is to say, manipulation.
This is the difference between lying for a purpose and lying as a mode of operation. This is analogous to the difference between what the “mainstream” media (again, not Fox “news”) do and, on the other hand, the garbage that characterizes to a significant degree “news” (or what substitutes for news) on social media. It is also another expression of the difference between bourgeois dictatorship in the “democratic” form and outright fascist bourgeois dictatorship.

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
