We, the revcoms, call on you to join us on Monday, May 1st to send this message to the world and to serve notice: in these dark times, we are building a force to bring forward thousands and then millions into a movement for an actual revolution.

Revolution means overthrowing this economic and political system of capitalism-imperialism. Why overthrow? Because it cannot be reformed.

Look around you. From the sweatshops of Bangladesh to the mines of the Congo… from Juárez, Mexico to Memphis, Tennessee, this system bitterly grinds people up and destroys the environment—all to amass its great wealth. This system oppresses Black and Brown and other people of color through discrimination, segregation, police murder, and more. This system holds down women and now denies them even the right to control their own bodies. This system demonizes and discriminates against LGBT people. It cruelly persecutes refugees and immigrants. And right now, the capitalist-imperialists who run the U.S. are taking things to the brink of nuclear war—not “for the Ukrainians,” but to defend and expand their domination of the world against other imperialists.

No election can stop this. Only revolution—nothing less—can put an end to the system that requires these horrors. We need a whole new system, and a new society. The vision and blueprint for that society is laid out in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, authored by Bob Avakian, or BA, the most important thinker and leader on the planet today. 

The chance to make this revolution is real—it is not something in the distant future. Those who have ruled over this system are at each other's throats in a way they haven’t been since the Civil War. One side aims to go full-out to fascism. The other side has no answers other than to keep the same old “normal” oppressive shit going. The clashes between them cause people to agonize and to wonder if things could be different—and this movement for revolution must reach all through society to show why this is happening and what must be done. Only in this way can anything good come out of this clash.

Come out May 1st. In a time of despair, the world must—and will—see a force for revolution and the emancipation of all humanity. And in the year ahead, that force must grow, first to the thousands and then to the millions, and be ready for the moment when the masses can be led to go all-out for revolution.
