From The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show

September 2023:

Will the Force for Revolution Be Forged?

Editors’ note: The following is a slightly edited transcript of Andy Zee’s opening of The RNL Show episode #164 on September 7, 2023.

It is September… and The RNL Show is amped up and gearing up for a fall leading into a year where the question posed before us, before you, before humanity, is: Will the force be forged, will the word be out that there is a way out of the madness of today, that there is roadmap for, and a leader in Bob Avakian and a leadership in the revcoms for a real revolution for the emancipation of humanity? This is a question that we are determined to answer with There is Such a Force.

This fall, millions need to see and hear of the revcoms. They need to see on the walls and online and in their hands, We Are the Revcoms… and We Need And We Demand: A Whole New Way to Live, A Fundamentally Different System; they need to experience the Interviews with Bob Avakian on this, The RNL Show. They need to know Bob Avakian as a leader who has brought forward a way for the masses of people to overcome all forms of exploitation and oppression here through a real revolution to establish a radically new society that could empower the people to emancipate themselves and all humanity. And, BA has shown how this time of great danger also holds the possibility for this emancipating revolution.

This fall, people need to be seeing, hearing about, and experiencing a growing force that is applying the strategic approach of Fight the Power, and Transform the People, For Revolution: involving masses of people in rising up to resist the continuing crimes of this system, and defending people from attacks on their rights and their lives by racist, women-hating and anti-LGBTQ thugs, in and out of government...

This fall, people need to hear and confront that the future doesn’t just hold the threat of massive calamity—or even extinction through the destruction of the environment or devastation of nuclear war. People need to hear that the future doesn’t just hold the looming threat of an even more vindictive white supremacist theocratic fascist regime if the Republican-fascist Party of Trump gets elected by hook or crook, let alone a civil war which these fascists are preparing for now. People need to know there is another future other than the Democrats with Biden’s escalating proxy war with Russia, the continued devastation of the environment, along with the brutal oppression of immigrants and refugees, the continuing police murder and mass incarceration of Black and Brown people, the situation where far from fighting for women’s right to abortion, the Democrats do nothing but say “vote for us,” meanwhile attacks on LGBTQ people escalate and the police in Democratic-controlled cities—just as they do in Republican-controlled cities—arrest and brutalize those who organize against this.

WE NEED AND WE DEMAND A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT FUTURE

This is a time when people who care about humanity, who yearn for a world where all people can live as full human beings, where the planet is protected, need to know the stakes of this moment—either the terrible future that is barreling down on humanity from the workings of this capitalist-imperialist system, or something truly emancipating. Whether we get that future, depends on you and thousands like you right now waking up and changing your life to save the future.

Time’s up, and time can be up for all of the misery caused by this system.

THERE IS ANOTHER WAY. This is why the broadsheet We Need and We Demand puts before all that:

The Existing Capitalist-Imperialist System And Institutions Of Government In This Country Must Be Abolished And Dismantled—And Replaced By A New, Socialist System Based On The CONSTITUTION FOR THE NEW SOCIALIST REPUBLIC IN NORTH AMERICA.

For this to be real, We Are the Revcoms… and We Need And We Demand: A Whole New Way To Live need to be everywhere.

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!
