Revcoms Seize the National Headlines

As the LA Times wrote, “Jason Aldean tried it in a big town and found out.”

In news outlets big and small, with some fascists foaming at the mouth and on the attack, to mainstream news reporting on the controversy, the revcoms—revolutionary communists—have created a national shitstorm with the basic message:

No More Lynch Mobs In And Out Of Uniform

No More Standing By While Good Ol’ Boys Prepare For Civil War

We Need And We Demand A Whole New Way To Live. We Need And We Are Organizing For A Real Revolution

The revcoms burned several American flags in front of Jason Aldean’s concert in Tinley Park, Illinois. Leo, from the Revolution Club Chicago, has been quoted in several national outlets:

“Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ isn’t just a racist lynching anthem, it’s a call to fascist civil war!” Leo Pargo, one of the group’s leaders, said in a statement from the Revolution Club Chicago. “Aldean has said people who burn the American flag should ‘Try That in a Small Town’ and ‘see how far you make it down the road.’ We accepted the challenge, Jason! We burned that rag right outside your concert... AND we’ll do it again! We lit the American flag on fire because this country has only ever stood for slavery, genocide and war.”

As the world burns, do you hunger for a future fit for human beings and the diversity of life on the planet?

Threats of nuclear Armageddon… racist murdering cops, abortion-banning theocrats, anti-LGBTQ terror… All this will only get worse unless and until we make a revolution to get rid of the system of capitalism-imperialism enforcing and furthering this nightmare.

To build this revolution... to make this revolution known... to raise people’s sights requires your financial support.

In this rare time when the rulers of this country are deeply divided and cannot “hold the country together”—the revolution we are working for is urgently necessary, and more possible.

Right now, we are working urgently to put this revolution on the map. This requires funds on a major scale.
