This is Bob Avakian—REVOLUTION, number 107—a special holiday message, 2024:
God-Damn the Trump/MAGA Fascists, Every One!
And God-Damn Everyone Who Tells Us to “Get Along” And “Play Nice” With These Fascists!
With people who support Trump, nothing good can come from trying to “understand” them on their own terms. No matter who they are—and no matter what reason or rationalization they give for doing so—they are supporting fascism, with everything that means. (In a number of previous messages, most recently in message #105, I have laid out very clearly what it means—the very real horror of this fascism—on top of the ongoing horrors perpetrated by this system of capitalism-imperialism as a whole.)
Unless and until people who have supported Trump admit they are wrong, and face up to what they have done in supporting MAGA fascism, there can be no principled way to “get along” with them; and, instead, in any involvement with them, they need to be sharply confronted—called out and firmly held to account for the fascism they have responsibility for supporting and enabling.
Once more: This is not a time for demoralization or despair—and it is definitely not a time for completely wrong-headed and extremely harmful attempts to find “common ground” with fascism and those who support it.
What is needed is an offensive orientation in challenging this fascism—bold defiance and a determined refusal to go along with any of this—now, and in an ongoing way.
And: This is a time for righteous anger and revolutionary determination in the face of this fascism, and the whole system that has given rise to this fascism, along with all its other atrocities (atrocities which I have shined a light on through these messages as a whole, and which are analyzed extensively and in depth in the American Crime series at revcom.us).
As I have emphasized many times, it is a scientific fact that we do not have to live this way—a radically different and far better world really is possible. This is also spoken to very clearly in the Declaration at revcom.us: WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM.
