We very definitely do boldly and unapologetically emphasize the crucial, indeed truly historic importance of the role of Bob Avakian (BA) in bringing forward a new, more consistently scientific, synthesis of communism (the new communism) and providing practical as well as theoretical leadership for the actual revolution that is, now all the more urgently needed, and more possible. But our orientation is certainly not that we need just “one leader.” In opposition to that, as BA has repeatedly stressed, and as he powerfully expressed in the recent interviews with him, we need legions of critically and creatively thinking people to join the ranks, and to develop as leaders, of this revolution—we need continually growing numbers of strategic commanders for this revolution, based on applying the scientific method and approach of the new communism.
