AMERICA IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE

America reigns without a rival…”

A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM

The USA is the #1 capitalist-imperialist exploiter and oppressor in the world today. This system is the source of all the outrages and madness that people are subjected to here, and around the world. This system poses a growing threat to the future of humanity. We can no longer stand to live this way.

Let us not cover up the truth: the U.S., founded in slavery, has perpetrated genocide against Native American people; invaded, occupied, and staged coups throughout the world; dropped nuclear bombs; napalmed farming villages; trained legions of baby-killing death squads; assassinated leaders they didn’t like; terrorized wedding parties with drone bombings; and now are bringing humanity closer to the brink of catastrophic, even nuclear, war with their imperialist rivals in Russia and China. And they‘ve lied about every bit of this in the name of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Today, this country is being ripped apart. Those who rule are deeply divided. The Republicans on one side are stripping away the rights of women, LGBTQ people, immigrants, and Black and brown people—fighting for an outright fascist form of rule. On the other side, the Democrats, as representatives of this system, can only try to rescue the “normal”—brutally oppressive—way things have been.

Things are coming to a head—careening towards a disastrous future—unless we work and fight for something radically different and truly emancipating.

July 4, join us to demand a whole better way the world could be. This future is envisioned in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America. This Constitution provides the framework for a revolutionary society moving to uproot all forms of oppression and exploitation based on race, class and gender and all relations where one part of humanity is subordinated and dominated by others. It’s time to stop clinging to the myth of America and its founding document, the exploiters’ U.S. Constitution.

This July 4th: which future will you stand for?

Join us in Philadelphia July 4. At the birthplace of America, send the message to the world: we are fighting for a world without America, without everything America stands for and everything it does in the world. The Revcoms will release an inspiring Declaration in the name of people here and around the world for a new society on the road to real emancipation—a clarion call for this time when the future hangs in the balance.

We will be taking “We Are the Revcoms” and the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America and reaching 10’s of thousands of people — postering, raising big funds and getting people to step up and step into this revolution by donating and taking small bundles of “We Are The Revcoms” that people can commit to taking back to their neighborhoods, suburbs and cities that people come from. We are making a big map with pins that give everyone participating a graphic sense of where this revolution is being planted. We'll be busting open mass debate, and breaking people's blind allegiance to a founding framework for exploitation and world wide plunder. We’ll be bringing people an inspiring vision of how much better the world could be if millions get behind abolishing this system and replacing it with a radically different system.

Volunteer an afternoon or 4 afternoons going to the people with revolution. We’ll be out everyday and summing up how to raise our game every night — making the big advances in putting revolution on the map.

From the genocide in Gaza, to the growing threat of world war between nuclear powers, to escalating environmental devastation… the capitalist-imperialist system ruling over us is a horror for billions around the world and is tearing up the fabric of life on earth. Now the all-out battle within the U.S. ruling class, between fascist Republicans and war criminal Democrats, is coming to a head—likely during, or before, the coming elections—ripping society apart unlike anything since the Civil War.

Bob Avakian (BA), revolutionary leader and author of the new communism, has developed a strategy to prepare for and make revolution. He’s scientifically analyzed that this is a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible, and has laid out the sweeping vision, solid foundation and concrete blueprint for “what comes next,” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

The website revcom.us follows and applies that leadership and is essential to all this. We post new materials from BA and curate his whole body of work. We apply the science he’s developed to analyze and expose every key event in society, every week. Revcom.us posts BA’s timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists), including his social media posts which break this down for people every week and sometimes more. We act as a guiding and connecting hub for the growing revcom movement nationwide: not just showing what’s being done, but going into what’s right and what’s wrong and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force.

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but goes up to a whole different level!

So what should you give to make 2024 our year—a year of revolution?
Everything you possibly can!
DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!

Your donations contribute to:

  • Promotion of BA on social media and the Bob Avakian Interviews on The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show
  • Strengthen revcom.us as an accessible, secure, robust website able to rise to the challenge of meeting the extraordinary demands of navigating the storms and preparing for revolution in this pivotal, unprecedented year
  • Fund revcoms to travel to national “hotspots,” where extreme contradictions are pulling apart the fabric of this country and creating the possibility of wrenching an actual revolution out of this intensifying situation
  • Expand the reach and coverage of revcom.us
  • Printing and distribution of key Revcom materials including the Declaration “WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM” and the Proclamation, “WE ARE THE REVCOMS (Revolutionary Communists)”
