Screening of Talk by Sunsara Taylor "Woke Insanity vs Real Revolution"
Tuesday, 7pm, May 30

In-store Screening at Revolution Books in Harlem of 
Special Episode of The RNL-Revolution Nothing Less Show

featuring speech by
SUNSARA TAYLOR at University of California/Los Angeles 

We will watch the speech & discuss together.

From RevCom.us:

“WOKE” IS A DESTRUCTIVE FORCE IN THE POLITICAL, INTELLECTUAL, ARTISTIC AND ETHICAL LIFE OF SOCIETY.

"Bizarre and capricious rules enforced by cancel culture threats. Puffed-up unscientific claims to “represent the marginalized.” Insisting that people “stay in their lanes” in fighting oppression. “Woke” lunacy manifests much that is harmful with the capitalist-imperialist system and its dominant culture, furthering the nightmare of humanity!

“ 'Woke' once meant righteous awareness of racial oppression but has long since morphed into fanatical lunacy and vicious mob mentality. A bloodlust to target and tear into individuals, while cowardly ducking, and often, actively obstructing the real and needed fight against the system, especially its overthrow through an actual revolution! …. Read the full statement here

Educational and public interest programs at Revolution Books are sponsored by the Revolution Books Educational Fund, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization.

Special RNL Show: "WOKE” LUNACY VS. REAL REVOLUTION, Featuring Sunsara Taylor's Speech
Friday, May 26th, 5 p.m.

Join us at Revolution Books to watch the premiere together. 

Across the country, Republi-fascists are banning books, slamming back LGBT people, and snatching away women’s rights to control their own bodies… while trigger happy white supremacists, Christian fascist, MAGA mobs get ready for civil war to wipe out all those they hate.

On college campuses across the country, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and suicide are at all time highs.

In Black and brown neighborhoods, the police act like an occupying army, murdering more people than ever last year… while Biden declares “Fund the police!”

On the southern border, desperate asylum seekers are robbed, hunted, or burned alive, dying by the thousands in the desert, while Democrats double-down on Trump’s immigration policy.

Around the world, this capitalist-imperialist system is pushing humanity to the brink of climate catastrophe and world war 3 between the U.S. and Russia and China.

In the face of all this people (and especially students!) need to wake up, stand up, and seek out real solutions. But “woke” identity politics—which gets more unhinged from reality by the day—stands as a major obstacle to that. While the fascist lunacy poses by far the greater danger, this “woke” idiocy does incalculable damage and ends up actually helping the fascists.

“Wokeness” and cancel culture pose as the answer to this system’s injustice, to white supremacy and gender oppression. But this is a FRAUD! Sunsara Taylor will rip the veil off this whole framework, showing how it evades, misdirects, and does great harm to the struggle that is urgently needed. She will dissect its theoretical premises and bring first hand experience, as a leader in the fight for abortion rights, of its toxic effects.

Sunsara Taylor, who bases herself on the new communism developed by Bob Avakian, will speak about why this capitalist-imperialist system must be overthrown in order to uproot and abolish all forms of oppression, why “inclusion” and “safe spaces” within this system are NOT the answer, and why YOU need to be part of this revolution.

Masses of people are being brutalized and savaged, the world is burning (literally as well as figuratively) and you are preoccupied with changing the faces of those who preside over these horrors, and spitting on people if they don’t use nouns and pronouns that you approve of, or in some other way violate the constantly mutating standards of “wokeness.”

–Bob Avakian

To everyone who can’t stand this world the way it is… who is sick and tired of so many people being treated as less than human…

WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS SYSTEM’S FUTURE!

We revcoms, or revolutionary communists, have a plan to bring forward and lead thousands and then millions in a revolution to wrest a different future out of the horror that now looms.

At a time when the very fate of the planet is in the balance… at a time when there is a force willing to stand up and say, “WE will dare to seize a future fit for humanity”… WHAT are YOU giving your money to?

“Basing ourselves on the scientific method and approach of the new communism brought forward by the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian, we revcoms have the clear understanding that this system of capitalism-imperialism is the source of all the outrages and madness that people are subjected to, here and all over the world—and that it is long past time for this system to be swept off the face of the Earth….

“Bob Avakian has sharply expressed this profound reality: We can no longer afford to allow these imperialists to continue to dominate the world and determine the destiny of humanity. And it is a scientific fact that humanity does not have to live this way—a whole different way to organize society, a whole better world, is possible.”  

—From the new Proclamation WE ARE THE REVCOMS: We Are Working for a Real Revolution and Whole New, Emancipating Way to Live

Learn why this campaign needs to be stepped up nationwide.
