Episode 67 of The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show

Afghanistan, Haiti, Climate Change: REVOLUTION IS NECESSARY! PLUS Abortion Emergency & Covid Vaccine

 

Twin horrors of U.S. military domination and Taliban fanaticism ravage Afghanistan. An earthquake tears through an already devastated Haiti. Climate change threatens the future. All stem from the same problem: the SYSTEM of CAPITALISM-IMPERIALISM. All have only one solution: a REAL REVOLUTION! Andy Zee will take us through this, and an excerpt from Bob Avakian takes us deep into the science of why this is true. Then, Sunsara Taylor interviews Toni Redtree on the abortion rights emergency, with Texas scheduled to criminalize virtually all abortions in less than a week and the Supreme Court considering a case that directly challenges the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. Finally, an excerpt from Sunsara Taylor’s radio show We Only Want the World where guest Rafael Kadaris dives into the controversy over COVID-19 vaccines, arguing that everyone who can should get vaccinated and takes on arguments against it.

TABLE OF CONTENTS:

* Andy Zee looks at Afghanistan, Haiti, and the looming climate catastrophe, applying science to take on wrong understandings of the source of the problem and pointing irrefutably to the only way out: an actual revolution.

* An excerpt from Bob Avakian’s 2018 speech "Why We Need An Actual Revolution And How We Can Really Make Revolution on how the system of capitalism-imperialism actually works and why nothing short of revolution can deal with what humanity faces.

* Sunsara Taylor interviews Toni Redtree, a writer for revcom.us and an advocate of the new communism developed by Bob Avakian. Toni recently wrote an article for revcom.us, “The Fascists Are Clearly Coming for Abortion, and Soon. So Why Is the Response of ‘the Movement’ to Prepare for When It’s Gone?” Toni and Sunsara speak about this urgent crisis where the very right of women in this country to control their own reproduction and their very lives is being forcibly taken from them.

* An excerpt from Sunsara Taylor's Pacifica Radio show We Only Want the World on WPFW in Washington, D.C., and WBAI in NYC. Her guest Rafael Kaderis, a member of the National Revolution Tour, and a frequent contributor to The RNL Show, discussed the COVID pandemic and took live call-ins from the listeners on the controversy over vaccination. Their broadcast was informed by an article that appeared on revcom.us by Bob Avakian, “Vaccines Are a Decisive Means for Dealing with COVID—They Are Not a ‘CONSPIRACY’ or a ‘Plot’ by the Government and Big Corporations. The Importance of a Scientific Understanding and Approach.”
