BECAUSE…

Updated

Because We Rage…

Because they took away your right to abortion and force your sisters across the country to have children against their will…and because they are coming for birth control next.

Protest at Supreme Court against overturning of Roe v. Wade.   

Because your young sisters still cut themselves, still think about suicide, still get bullied in the halls and shamed on social media and, yes, raped when they dare to trust…

Because if you are trans and young you are hounded by bullies and by those in power in Texas and Florida and America… and you are still stigmatized for being lesbian or gay in 2023…

Because you can’t even put the word WOMAN in a sentence anymore with the word OPPRESSION without some fool raising an objection, while the horror hits worse, every single day…

Because our brothers and sons and dads and uncles and tios—and our daughters and sisters and moms and aunties too—become statistics and hashtags for saying the “wrong” thing, for making a “wrong” move, for having the “wrong” skin in a country that’s really been wrong from the start…

Because your chances of dying when you give birth in America are over three times greater if you are Black than if you are white…

Because of evictions… because of raising children in shelters…

Because of fascist maggots with their incitements to violence against women go “viral,” one worse than the next…

Because of pornography being the default sex education for nine-year-olds…

Because religious fanatics—be they Christian, Islamic, Hindu or Jewish—pronounce you “unclean” and want to dominate and control you even more

Because women and children in Jakarta and Lagos and Mexico City and Atlanta and Kentucky and South Dakota get trafficked and vanish without a trace…

Because you’re told to “brand” yourself—think about that word—and to sell yourself with no greater ambition than to someday yourself be “a player too”…

Because the blood and sweat and 12-hour days of billions of sisters in Asia and around the world is ground into your clothes and your phones…

Because this system commodifies everything and everyone… and is killing us all!

Because our world could get blown up or dried up or burnt up by the powers-that-be for the system they run and we haven’t even had a chance.

Because We Struggle…

Because your sisters in Iran rose up against religious tyrants, cast off their head scarves, and sacrificed even their lives so their sisters could breathe free… and because men joined them, across the country, and even giving their lives in the cause of justice…

Because your sisters in Mexico rose up against the killings and disappearances of thousands of women a year for the “crime” of walking this planet with a vagina…

Because your sisters in Argentina and Colombia rose up, in green, proudly DEMANDING the right to abortion…

Because young people in America took the streets last spring when the word leaked out on what the fascist Supreme Court was about to do (and then did)…

Because we dare to think, to cry and ask why and defy those who say we are lesser, to resist and struggle, to speak out and shout out NO to the madness, to say yes, to reason, to laugh and to dream of and work for and fight for a world that we will set FREE…

Because We Hope and Dream and Think for Full Liberation…

Because bad as it is with worse yet to come, this system is coming apart and out of that stench we can wrench something much better…

Because we have a plan, and a vision for a whole better way, a REAL revolution with a NEW Constitution to uproot the wrongs and put things right…

Because there’s a way to understand how we got into this situation and how to get out—a new communism with the scientific method we can all learn to wield…

Because there’s a strategy that we can use to get free against heavy odds…

Because there’s the leadership we need to wage that great fight.

Because as the revolutionary leader and thinker Bob Avakian says,

“There is not going to be any liberating struggle, any liberating real revolution, that doesn't have right at the heart of it, at the core of it, the emancipation of women from every way in which they are degraded, and debased, and oppressed, and violently suppressed.”

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!
