Real Revolution, In This Time:
What the Powers-That-Be Don't Want You to Know

A series of social media dispatches from Bob Avakian

Updated February 26, 2024

Bob Avakian Official on youtube recently made a playlist of BA's social media dispatches 1-11 with the title: "Real Revolution, In This Time: What the Powers-That-Be Don't Want You to Know."

This is an hour-plus audio from the revolutionary leader who has brought forward a framework for human emancipation, for a whole new way to live. This series provides a powerful introduction that speaks to the basic and urgent questions of why we need this revolution (with extensive exposure of the crimes of this system, right down to today), why this revolution is possible in this ‘rare time,’ and how this revolution could actually succeed (how we could win).

They are also a companion to The Bob Avakian Interviews on The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show which take you into the heart and soul and hard-core-for-revolution understanding of this this leader, and the future that is possible.

Finally, to get alerted as soon as a new social media post is up from Bob Avakian, subscribe to his newsletter on substack. You can also get the full text of his posts there!

Real Revolution, In This Time: What the Powers-That-Be Don't Want You to Know
A series of social media dispatches from Bob Avakian

BA is coming to you straight up, bringing truth the powers-that-be don’t want you to have—truth you need to know—the truth about the revolution we need now: Why is revolution necessary? Why and how is it actually possible—not in some far off time, but right in this time—with society being ripped apart and the rulers more sharply divided than they've been since the Civil War? Could we really win? What is this revolution aiming for?

Because: If you don’t understand why we need a revolution, and how that revolution could be possible, then you don’t know what you need to know.

Bob Avakian is completely different than all the capitalist “leaders” who can't see, and won't look, beyond the confines of this horrific system. He is hard-core for revolution, with a largeness of mind, generosity of spirit, and lively sense of humor—which shines through in these Interviews.

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!
