The Serious Implications—and Challenges—of Trump’s Fascist Victory
Highlights from a Refuse Fascism Forum with Paul Street & Andy Zee, hosted by Refuse Fascism's Sam Goldman

On November 8, Paul Street and Andy Zee joined Refuse Fascism host Sam Goldman for an online forum to discuss Trump's fascist electoral victory. The forum was titled: 

FASCISM IS NEVER LEGITIMATE! 
WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A TRUMP FASCIST AMERICA

ONLINE FORUM: 

What does it mean for the future that half of the country 
voted for a white supremacist, misogynist Fascist?

Samantha posed sharp questions, and Andy and Paul went deeply into them. Why did half the country vote for this fascist? What are the serious implications—and the deeper causes? And what must be understood about how to—and how not to—fight this? 

This program was sponsored by Refuse Fascism in association with ⁠The RNL—Revolution Nothing Less!—Show. The whole program was marked by intense and lively exchanges over really deep questions that are now being confronted, with both Andy and Paul drawing from the work of Bob Avakian on the questions of fascism, this system, revolution and the current juncture.

The following are highlights taken from the Forum. 

The full program is available here.

DONATE to the revolution.

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!
