Here we are announcing, and inviting you to be part of, major efforts to spread this talk throughout society:
SOMETHING TERRIBLE,
OR SOMETHING TRULY EMANCIPATING:Profound Crisis, Deepening Divisions, The Looming Possibility Of Civil War—
And The Revolution That Is Urgently Needed
A Necessary Foundation, A Basic Roadmap For This Revolution
by Bob Avakian, Revolutionary Leader, Author of the New Communism
We are aiming to provoke serious engagement and debate, and through this, build up the forces for revolution.
In this talk, Bob Avakian (BA) says:
With all this, what is urgently needed, what is possible—and what must be actively, tirelessly worked for, in order for there to truly be a positive outcome to all this—is a fundamentally different alignment in the country as a whole: a Repolarization that is favorable for, and brings forward the necessary forces for, Revolution—a real revolution to overthrow this system, and bring into being a radically different and much better system.
Here are just beginning efforts—making this talk known as one part—of launching what's needed.

Tag important accounts, DM people directly, repost the materials from @therevcoms on your account and in popular groups, forums and more. Be ready for and welcome the controversy. If you run into questions you're not sure how to answer, reach out to us! Or reach out to us in any case to let us know what's being stirred up and what you're learning.
** Spread “A Revolution Rhyme for This Historic Time”: This powerful rhyme is important in its own right and can have an important effect in helping the talk spread further—reaching inside people with creative and sharp ideological struggle. Spread the new audio version from Roosevelt from the Revolution Club in Chicago and the powerful video illustration of Miles Solay's reading. In addition to reposting and spreading these versions, do your own version and write to us with ideas.
** Post this everywhere: Starting this week and over a series of weeks, we are aiming for national “saturation”—so that people start seeing these materials everywhere, in Spanish and English, and spreading across the country... breaking through the poisonous idea that “there is no alternative.”

This is part of spreading the word, provoking debate and discussion and building up organized networks across the country. Make this a project of your Revolution Club. If you don't yet have a Revolution Club in your area, this can be part of how you start pulling people together to organize one.
** Join a three-part Zoom discussion to get more deeply into the talk itself—grappling together with others about the analysis and plan concentrated in this historic presentation. Write to us at getorganizedforrevolutiontour@gmail.com or DM us on social media @therevcoms if you want to be part of this. Let us know who you are and what makes you interested.
** Contribute generously, and raise funds, for large billboards to go up in cities across the country, announcing this talk—breaking open a national controversy and debate about a force rising up from the underground, organizing for revolution for real with the leadership and plan for this concentrated in this talk. This will require tens of thousands of dollars raised right away to get started, which will begin a months-long effort that will increase in scale and scope—interconnected with plans to implement this talk, intensifying the overall impact and debate. Raising these funds is also a critical way to build up and support the organized forces for revolution. Write to us with ideas and stay tuned for a fundraising livestream happening soon.
