JULY 4, 2023

AMERICA IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE

“…for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy,

America reigns without a rival…”

 

WE DEMAND:

A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE,

A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM

 

1 pm, July 4, 2023

INDEPENDENCE HALL

Philadelphia, PA

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.

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!
