Featured and Timely from Bob Avakian

Note to revcom.us readers: We are currently in the very initial and formative steps of reorganizing the home page of our site. This is a work in progress. The aim is to make the works and leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the most important political thinker and leader in the world today, more accessible—and, at the same time, applying the method and approach brought forward by BA to orient people to new developments in the world. We welcome your comments, and suggestions on the design and organization of the site (write to revolution.reports@yahoo.com).

This page currently contains only articles by BA that were formerly on the home page; we are in the process of developing a much easier way to access the comprehensive works, including the prolific output of the last period, by topics, date and other key criteria. Please stay tuned.

“Internationalism—The Whole World Comes First.” —Bob Avakian, BAsics 5:8

“If you can conceive of a world without America—without everything America stands for and everything it does in the world—then you’ve already taken great strides and begun to get at least a glimpse of a whole new world. If you can envision a world without any imperialism, exploitation, oppression—and the whole philosophy that rationalizes it—a world without division into classes or even different nations, and all the narrow-minded, selfish, outmoded ideas that uphold this; if you can envision all this, then you have the basis for proletarian internationalism. And once you have raised your sights to all this, how could you not feel compelled to take an active part in the world historic struggle to realize it; why would you want to lower your sights to anything less?”
—Bob Avakian, BAsics 1:31

What Is Science? Can We Apply Science to Society?

Some of the slanderous attacks on Bob Avakian (BA) and the Revcoms have evolved to raise the controversy—and bogus charge—that communism is not a science, insinuating that it is a set of precepts of one person and setting the stage, therefore, for the charge that BA and the Revcoms are a “cult.” As a basic introduction, thorough refutation, and correct context, we recommend the following excerpts from Ardea Skybreak and Bob Avakian on precisely these questions.
