A Guide to This Issue of Revolution

What You Need to Know and Engage This Week 
About the World and Revolution:

In This Issue October 17, 2022

Welcome to Revcom.us and the new issue of Revolution. From Ukraine to Iran to Haiti, from the struggle for abortion rights within the U.S. to the crisis around racism in the Los Angeles City Council, we let you know what’s happening, why it’s happening, and where do the interests of humanity lie in key developments around the world and within the U.S.

More than that, we bring you the scientific method and approach of the new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian, BA—the way to understand the world and go to work on transforming it. We try to apply that analysis in everything we write, and we bring you BA’s body of work itself, where you can dig into it. Go here to get into some of these works, and here to “meet” BA himself—the person and leader who’s brought forward these powerful tools for liberation.

Of crucial importance in this right now: the analysis and strategy that BA has developed for making revolution in this rare time when revolution becomes more possible. Something Terrible, Or Something Truly Emancipating: Profound Crisis, Deepening Divisions, The Looming Possibility Of Civil War—And The Revolution That Is Urgently Needed, A Necessary Foundation, A Basic Roadmap For This Revolution puts forward an in-depth foundational analysis of the clashing forces of this period and how, within the extremely heavy things going down—including events and developments that threaten the very existence of humanity—there also exists the possibility for something truly emancipating: a revolution. “Something Terrible, OR Something Truly Emancipating” lays out how to go to work to make that real. And there is as well Organizing for an Actual Revolution: 7 Key Points—a concentrated expression of that strategy that can be used by everyone who is, or becomes, active in this movement for revolution. And the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, authored by BA, presents the sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for moving to build the new world humanity needs after the revolution.

This week, before laying out the table of contents, we want to call on all our readers to not only tune into The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less! YouTube show this Thursday, at 8 pm Eastern time, 7 Central and 5 Pacific, but to also let your friends know and to watch it with them, if you possibly can.

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!
