On Episode 5, Part 1:

  • Sunsara Taylor will talk with Coco Das of the RefuseFascism.org Editorial Board about the Trump/Pence regime’s fascist power grabs, the MAGA fascists marching in the streets, and the much-needed mission of RefuseFascism.org to drive out the Trump/Pence regime through mass, sustained, nonviolent protest.
  • Watch a clip from the Q&A that followed Bob Avakian’s speech called Why We Need An Actual Revolution And How We Can Really Make Revolution. In this question, someone asks Avakian about there seeming to be a coming civil war between the Democrats and Republicans.

On Episode 5, Part 2:

  • Andy Zee will speak with Raymond Lotta, fellow spokesperson for Revolution Books NYC, about how the system of capitalism-imperialism sabotages humanity’s ability to come together to solve international crisis and pandemics like the Covid-19 pandemic and why only revolution can fundamentally resolve this problem.

Earth Day 2020: A Planet “On Fire”

This is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, an annual global event in support of the environment. Even as humanity confronts the COVID-19 pandemic, the destruction of the environment and ecosystems around the world continue at a rapidly accelerating pace...

At this moment, it is important to return to—and reground in—fundamental questions, and urgently go to work on that basis: What drives the plunder of the planet and global warming? Can this be resolved under this system of capitalism-imperialism, and if not, why not? What about reformist programs like the Green New Deal? What is the solution, what will it take?

Capitalism-Imperialism Is Destroying the Planet...
Only Revolution Gives Humanity a Real Chance to Save It

“...we have two choices: either, live with all this—and condemn future generations to the same, or worse, if they have a future at all—or, make revolution!

—Bob Avakian

WWW.REVCOM.US/REVOLUTION NEWSPAPER brings alive a scientific analysis of major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how different events and developments relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie in relation to all this, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this and what the goals of that revolution are, how different viewpoints and programs relate, positively or negatively, to the revolution that is needed, and how people can move, and are moving, to build toward that revolution. Revcom.us/Revolution is the guide, the pivot, the crucial tool in drawing forward, orienting, training, and organizing thousands, and influencing millions—fighting the power, and transforming the people, for revolution—hastening and preparing for the time when we can go for the whole thing, with a real chance to win.
