Andy Zee On the Elections, the Threat of Fascism, the Need for and Possibility of Revolution, and the Importance of Bob Avakian

On Friday, October 25, Refuse Fascism hosted a conversation between Andy Zee and Paul Street.  Andy Zee is a follower of Bob Avakian, the most important revolutionary leader on the planet and the architect of a whole new framework for human emancipation, the new communism. Andy is also a co-host of the RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less! Youtube show, and a co-founder of Refuse Fascism. 

Paul Street is an independent radical journalist and a member of the Refuse Fascism editorial board. 

The conversation was moderated by Refuse Fascism editorial board member Samantha Goldman. 

We think the following excerpts from Andy Zee shed light on important dimensions of the extremely intense situation now developing and the whole coming period in which, as Bob Avakian has said, everything will be coming to a head and going up for grabs. The excerpts posted below come deep into the program building on points discussed earlier. There is a lot that Paul Street brought to the conversation, and a lively back and forth between Paul, Andy and Sam Goldman, the host of the program. The full program can be viewed at Youtube/TheRevcoms/Live. Andy Zee gave tremendous emphasis to this point from BA:

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.

Shocks, Jolts, the Real Threat of Civil War and the Possibility of Revolution: “Something Terrible, OR Something Truly Emancipating”

Andy Zee speaks in this excerpt about how the Democrats won't fight the fascists in the way they need to be fought. Elsewhere in the program, he said this doesn’t mean that the Democrats necessarily won’t mount any fight, including possibly mobilizing some official forces.

From the genocide in Gaza, to the growing threat of world war between nuclear powers, to escalating environmental devastation… the capitalist-imperialist system ruling over us is a horror for billions around the world and is tearing up the fabric of life on earth. Now the all-out battle within the U.S. ruling class, between fascist Republicans and war criminal Democrats, is coming to a head—likely during, or before, the coming elections—ripping society apart unlike anything since the Civil War.

Bob Avakian (BA), revolutionary leader and author of the new communism, has developed a strategy to prepare for and make revolution. He’s scientifically analyzed that this is a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible, and has laid out the sweeping vision, solid foundation and concrete blueprint for “what comes next,” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

The website revcom.us follows and applies that leadership and is essential to all this. We post new materials from BA and curate his whole body of work. We apply the science he’s developed to analyze and expose every key event in society, every week. Revcom.us posts BA’s timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists), including his social media posts which break this down for people every week and sometimes more. We act as a guiding and connecting hub for the growing revcom movement nationwide: not just showing what’s being done, but going into what’s right and what’s wrong and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force.

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