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.”

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!

So what should you give to make 2024 our year—a year of revolution?
Everything you possibly can!
