This fall Bob Avakian did a series of three interviews, entitled “Heart and Soul & Hard-Core for Revolution.” Here’s three reasons why YOU will want to watch these.
ONE. You’ll Come to Know the Humanity of a Rare and Unique Revolutionary Leader
Bob Avakian has been fighting to make revolution here and around the world for over 50 years, going all the way back to the days of the Black Panther Party. During that time, he’s brought forward a new communism, developed a strategy for revolution here in the U.S. (!), and even authored a Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America on what society would be like from Day One of the revolution.
But what life experiences made him a revolutionary? How does he draw on these today, and why has he never given up, after decades of work and sacrifice? Why does he value the poetic spirit? And what potential does he see in the “hard youth” who today are caught up in gangs and other madness to transform and to be part of leading a revolution as they transform?
TWO. You’ll Hear About the Danger—and the Great Potential—of the Times We’re Going Through Now, and How an Emancipatory Future Could Be Wrenched Out of These Times
In the midst of what seems to many people a present and future full of dread, Bob Avakian has developed a strategy to go from the small revolutionary movement of today to thousands and then millions—and not in the far-off distant future, either—and to bring a new emancipatory society out of that. Don’t you want to hear why and how he thinks that is possible—and what that new society would look and feel like?
THREE. You’ll Be Challenged to Look at Almost Everything Anew
When you get into this interview with Bob Avakian, you can’t help but take another, different look at the world around you and think about your own life as well. You’ll be challenged, deeply—and after all, isn’t that a good thing?
