The election of a fascist to rule in the United States will open a new chapter in the crimes of American imperialism in both the domestic and the international arenas. In order to understand what is happening and why it is happening, in order not to get lost in the global turmoil that is sure to engulf the Middle East—Iran will be one of its flashpoints—it is vital to follow the scientific analysis and concrete strategies and guidelines that [revolutionary leader] Bob Avakian puts forward on combating fascism and making revolution in the U.S. Although his specific guidance is mainly focused on the process of revolutionary struggle in the U.S., Avakian’s strategic approach—of basing resistance to fascism in the U.S. on the strategy of making revolution and overthrowing the entire capitalist system of imperialism—can be learned from in order to pave the way for revolution in other parts of the world.
The battle between revolution and counter-revolution in the U.S. will have a huge impact on the whole world—and the interests of humanity depend on the strengthening of the revolutionary forces in the U.S.
Avakian emphasizes this crucial point,
Everything depends on bringing forward a revolutionary people, from among the most bitterly oppressed, and all parts of society, first in the thousands and then in the millions, as a powerful revolutionary force, organized from the start and consistently with a country-wide perspective, impacting all of society and changing the terms of how masses of people see things and how every institution has to respond. Everything must be focused now on actually bringing forward and organizing this revolutionary force. (@BobAvakianOfficial social media message Revolution # 66)
Therefore, the revolutionary communists in the U.S. under the leadership of Bob Avakian should be unsparingly supported. We must support the revolutionary communists against [physical and verbal] attacks [including] from the snakes in the Democratic Party, which has never intended to confront fascism. Any decent person in the U.S. should get with this leadership and the revolutionary communists.
We make this call especially to the old and new immigrants from the Middle East, and in particular to those from Iran and Afghanistan: become part of this process of revolution in the U.S. The first step is to follow the [social media] messages of Bob Avakian1 Join the various collectives that are being organized along this path under the leadership of the revolutionary communists who follow the new communism and Bob Avakian. Out of this great disorder, we can wrench a revolutionary order—if we proceed on the basis of reality: the fact that capitalist imperialism is an outmoded system that must be overthrown everywhere, replaced by new socialist republics, in [North] America and everywhere else that the revolution [must be] victorious!
