On January 20, Trump will take the reins of power. This will be Trump/MAGA fascism 2.0—now backed by all three branches of government, with the Republican Party fully under his command and a cabinet ready to go that is full of woman-haters, immigrant-bashers, war crimes supporters, white supremacists, science deniers, climate destroyers, racists and shameless liars with no respect for the rule of law. 

The revolutionary leader Bob Avakian has said:

The answer to this cannot be—and must not become—an attempt to “hide” from what is coming, or to somehow just “get through” this fascism, or even just individual expressions of outrage about this fascism. Given what is at stake—for people in this country, and in the world as a whole—there must be active, determined opposition to this fascism, with the goal of defeating it.

[T]his is not a time for demoralization and despair. It is not a time for accepting this Trump/MAGA fascism as “legitimate,” and staying within the confines of “how things work” under this system, as Democratic Party heads and other “mainstream” ruling class representatives are urging people to do. It is not a time for turning inward and attempting to “take care of self” as the juggernaut of Trump/MAGA fascism gains momentum and crushes masses of people. This is a time for reaching out to all the others who feel the same outrage at Trump/MAGA fascism—a time for collective action and self-sacrificing struggle for the greater good: the greater good of defeating this fascism.

What better time for that—what more important and more necessary time—than January 20, the day that Trump is set to be inaugurated? We are calling on you to be part of nonviolent mass actions and expressions of different kinds on that day against this fascism. These actions must announce to the world that a force is forming that is determined to build a movement so massive and powerful that it can create a political crisis profound enough to prevent Trump from implementing his fascist program.

As we work together to prevent Trump/MAGA fascism from succeeding, we need to open up the question of what kind of system has given rise to this fascism and all the other horrors we face, and what must be done to get beyond all this. The Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity is dedicated to building the broadest possible fight to prevent a fascist America while we work and organize for revolution so that we no longer face intolerable "choices" between fascism and genocide, no longer face a system that is destroying the environment and risking nuclear war. As Bob Avakian has said, “…it is a scientific fact that we do not have to live this way.” The way people could be living is in our important declaration at revcom.us, WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM!

On January 20, in the face of the obscene fascist celebration, join us in declaring:

NO! IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS ROTTEN AND ILLEGITIMATE!

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