We are in a time, right now—a time for you to be part of seizing—where what you do can make a huge difference, for this generation and future generations.
Thousands of college students are standing up to demand an end to the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinian people. Over 2,300 have been arrested. They have been brutalized, slandered and demonized.
But they have not backed down. In the face of repression, student protests have come back stronger and more determined.
A Potential “Game Changer”
In a rare time when revolution to overthrow capitalism-imperialism is more possible, this holds the potential for, and is showing signs of, something of “generational significance.”
These college students, especially from “elite” universities, are going up against their own government on a matter of strategic importance to the ruling class—the state of Israel as a military outpost for U.S. capitalism-imperialism in the strategic region of the Middle East. This is forcing many others to sit up and take notice, to question what they are going along with and to challenge long-held fundamental assumptions about the nature of this system, and their responsibility to the world.
Millions—on the campuses and throughout society—are open to thinking about the biggest questions... and rethinking what they've understood. As a student said the other day to a member of the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity, “I used to think your call for revolution was extreme, but right now, it makes so much sense.”
All while the actual nature of this system is being exposed: in the American-made bombs dropped on innocent Palestinians and in the hammer of dictatorship being brought down on the students putting their bodies on the line to demand this genocide end.
By taking up and spreading revolutionary analysis of WHY this is happening and what can be done, and by donating to doing that, you are giving people what they don’t have: the most radical, the most truth-seeking and truth-telling, the most revolutionary analysis on the planet, from Bob Avakian: the truth that the powers-that-be don’t want you—or anyone else—to know.
Again, in a rare time when the revolution that humanity needs to end oppression is more possible, this whole uprising from the students has “game-changing” potential impact for the repolarization that's needed to make revolution.

As the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian said in his social media message Revolution #8:
This is not a time to be siding with one group of oppressors or another. This is a rare time—a very rare opening—a chance that may come only once in a lifetime—a chance to take advantage of the deep divisions among the ruling oppressors and go after their whole system, with the aim of bringing the whole thing down, and putting something much better in its place.
This rare time must not be squandered—wasted and thrown away. It must be actively and urgently seized on—to bring about a truly emancipating revolution.
With everything very likely coming to a head and coming up for grabs soon, the outcome of this rare time can’t be left to the brutal enforcers of this system, in one camp or another—or to any force which cannot, or will not, look beyond and lead people beyond the confines of an oppressive system, in one form or another. There must be—and there can be—an organized force of thousands, in a position to lead millions, to take this where it needs to go—to an actual, emancipating revolution.
With such an organized revolutionary force, it is possible to have a growing impact on all of society, changing the terms of how masses of people see things, and how every institution has to respond.
With thousands organized into the ranks of the revolution, millions can be won to revolution; and with millions won to revolution, there could be a real possibility for this revolution to win.
