MAGA-ites Attack Program, but Are Compelled to Leave

Revcoms Hold Successful Chicago Program on Bob Avakian’s Message 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 message, “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 message 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 message, 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 message. 

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

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!
