Los Angeles, March 10—As Israel escalates its U.S.-backed genocidal slaughter and starvation of Palestinians, The Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity joined protests called by Jewish Voice for Peace, Filmmakers for Palestine, and SAG-AFTRA Members for Ceasefire to keep ALL EYES ON RAFAH outside the Academy Awards. Almost 1,000 people marched through the streets, snarling traffic and even delaying the awards ceremony.

Inside, Jonathan Glazer (director of The Zone of Interest) gave an important speech objecting to "Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation." And a number of actors and artists wore Artists for Ceasefire pins. But overall there was way too little protest and way too much silence about the genocide being backed by their government.

The Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity united with this righteous protest and also challenged people there with the powerful and clarifying truth from revolutionary leader Bob Avakian's social media account @BobAvakianOfficial about Palestine, U.S. imperialism, and the revolutionary solution.

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!

DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!
