MAGA-ites Attack Program, but Are Compelled to Leave

Revcoms Hold Successful Chicago Program on Bob Avakian’s Dispatch on Black People and Immigrants

Revcoms Speak to the Controversy Over Bob Avakian's Message to Black People Hating on Immigrants

On Sunday, September 8, THE REVCOM CORPS For The Emancipation Of Humanity held a program at their organizing center on Bob Avakian’s (BA’s) social media dispatch, “Black People Hating On Immigrants. Nonsense, and worse, from people who should know better.” This program had been the subject of attacks in the days leading up to it, and building for it was extremely controversial everywhere the revcoms went. The title of BA’s dispatch struck a raw nerve—compelling some into angry denial but inspiring others to get into some truth-telling and debating.

@dix_carl setting the record straight on why @bobavakianofficial is challenging Black people who are hating on immigrants to get up off it.

Over 20 organized Black MAGA forces came to the event. Fascists had been attacking the program in the lead-up, denouncing it at a City Council meeting and issuing violent, disgusting threats on social media. Once the program began, these fascists refused to obey the rules that had been laid down—rules which would allow for everyone to speak and express differences, in a spirit of seeking the truth. Instead, the fascists insisted on disrupting. When they began to move toward the stage and physically confront people, the revcoms united those there who wanted to hear the program to make their will known, and these fascists felt compelled to leave.

Chicago REVCOM CORPS for the Emancipation of Humanity takes “Black People Hating On Immigrants. Nonsense, and worse, from people who should know better” to the projects fake news targetted.

So, after a very brief delay caused by this attack, the program resumed with the remaining 30 to 40 people who were there. People listened attentively to the audio of BA reading the dispatch, as well as brief talks from the revcoms who were leading the program. There was good discussion and struggle—lively exposure, truth-telling, some expressions of opposition and difference, and wrangling from different angles with what we need to do to overcome the serious problem that BA points to in this dispatch. 

Obviously, we need many, many more people to be engaging and wrangling with the crucial points made by BA in this dispatch. But this beginning struck a nerve, and it can and must be built on.

From the genocide in Gaza, to the growing threat of world war between nuclear powers, to escalating environmental devastation… the capitalist-imperialist system ruling over us is a horror for billions around the world and is tearing up the fabric of life on earth. Now the all-out battle within the U.S. ruling class, between fascist Republicans and war criminal Democrats, is coming to a head—likely during, or before, the coming elections—ripping society apart unlike anything since the Civil War.

Bob Avakian (BA), revolutionary leader and author of the new communism, has developed a strategy to prepare for and make revolution. He’s scientifically analyzed that this is a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible, and has laid out the sweeping vision, solid foundation and concrete blueprint for “what comes next,” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

The website revcom.us follows and applies that leadership and is essential to all this. We post new materials from BA and curate his whole body of work. We apply the science he’s developed to analyze and expose every key event in society, every week. Revcom.us posts BA’s timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists), including his social media posts which break this down for people every week and sometimes more. We act as a guiding and connecting hub for the growing revcom movement nationwide: not just showing what’s being done, but going into what’s right and what’s wrong and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force.

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but goes up to a whole different level!
