Something Truly Emancipating: The Work Of Bob Avakian Must Be Spread As Widely As Possible

Revcom.us received this letter from a reader from Colombia. The translation is by revcom.us.

While revcom.us cannot accept donations from outside the United States, we are printing this to inspire our readers to donate. It emphasizes the importance of the works of Bob Avakian and the role of revcom.us in the world today.

We live in exceptional times. We are witnessing a mass extinction of species generated by the predatory nature of the capitalist-imperialist system. Furthermore, the oppressors, both in the United States and in the rest of the planet, cannot continue to live indefinitely with their parasitic lifestyle and, on the other hand, it is increasingly noticeable that the people are not willing to continue letting themselves be oppressed, and this is expressed in constant outbursts of indignation and protest.

The rebellion of the masses is justified, revolution is more and more necessary.

It is at this time that the work of Bob Avakian, his ideas and his leadership are crucial, as well as the role that the Revcoms play in bringing to fruition the revolution that is needed.

In his most recent writing SOMETHING TERRIBLE, OR SOMETHING TRULY EMANCIPATING, Bob Avakian honestly shows the scenarios before our eyes: firstly, if we do nothing, if we let the capitalist-imperialist system continue to do its thing, we will be faced with the exacerbation of fascism, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and the depredation of the environment to nightmare levels.

On the other hand, in the times that we live in, there is a real possibility of making revolution, since there is the necessary basis and the basic roadmap to make it: The New Synthesis of Communism, which has not happened in other times in the U.S. history.

 

The advance and triumph of a revolution in the United States would have a profound and powerful impact on the rest of the planet.

In the context of this exceptional situation, it is urgent and crucial to help spread Bob Avakian’s New Synthesis of Communism as widely as possible, both within the U.S. and globally, so that more and more people join the ranks of the movement of millions necessary to make this revolution.

That is why I join the call for all people who feel that a radical social change is necessary, to contribute to the fundraising campaign that is being carried out to finance revcom.us and contribute in this and other ways to the extent of their capabilities, as a way to bring the New Synthesis and the work of Bob Avakian to as wide an audience as possible.

Avakian says, at the end of SOMETHING TERRIBLE, OR SOMETHING TRULY EMANCIPATING: “Dare to become part of the forces for this historic revolution. Dare to work resolutely to make this a reality. Dare to struggle, dare to win.” Let’s dare; although it is already late, we can still fight to transform our social reality in an emancipatory way.

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!
