As we go to press—on Sunday, April 11, a 20-year-old Black youth was shot and killed by police during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. This is just10 miles from the Minneapolis courthouse where pig Derek Chauvin is on trial for the murder of George Floyd. According to a New York Times report, around 2 pm cops pulled over Daunte Wright, supposedly for a traffic violation. After the police fired at Wright, the car traveled about two blocks before it smashed into another car. Daunte Wright was found dead at the scene. His girlfriend, who was also in the car, was rushed to the hospital with injuries. According to local news reports, there were protests at the scene of the killing and at the police department headquarters that continued into the night. We will continue to cover these developments.

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!
