Labor Day Weekend 2023: Spreading Revolution Across the Country

This Labor Day weekend, while the planet continues to warm and the crisis throughout society is sharpening, the revcoms aimed to impact people with the message of revolution — nothing less. At street festivals, universities, crowded corners and reverberating off the walls – we distributed thousands of copies of 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); WE ARE WORKING FOR A REAL REVOLUTION AND A WHOLE NEW, EMANCIPATING WAY TO LIVE. People found out about the Interviews with the revolutionary leader, Bob Avakian.

In Austin, people summed up the importance of playing the article from Bob Avakian, State of Emergency.  And in this letter from a reader in NY, they sum up important shortcomings in applying that same approach. 

Right now, urgently, millions need to know about this revolution. Spreading these materials throughout society — and doing it in a way that involves people — is one essential part of making this happen. Read here about some of the initial experience in Houston of building up networks of engagement and distribution.

Donate and raise funds for this revolution — to enable this message to reach even more broadly, and as part of struggling with people to take responsibility for the revolution. Send us your ideas and questions, take pictures and video when you go out, and do this as part of building a national movement for an actual revolution.

WE NEED AND WE DEMAND A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT FUTURE

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!

DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!
