Beginning mid-week, as early as Wednesday, we intend to cover developments in and around the elections. Stay tuned here for analysis and for guidance on how to act. And come back here regularly in the days and weeks following these elections.
Bob Avakian (BA), in his social media messages, has made the point that he is talking in these messages about revolution, in this time, not in some far-off distant time. And he has explained that:
The basic reason why this revolution is possible now is because those who have ruled this country for so long are bitterly and deeply divided among themselves, while the country as a whole is being torn apart by divisions that can no longer be covered over and things can no longer be held together in the way they have been for generations.
Everything will very likely be coming to a head and coming up for grabs this year, 2024, with the presidential election this year a sharp focus of the fight between the dominating ruling class parties—Democrats and Republicans—a fight that is very likely to break all out of the bounds of the “normal way” they exercise power over the people, and keep their whole murderous system going.
This kind of deep division—and especially this bitter antagonism among the powers-that-be—has not been seen in this country since the time of the Civil War way back in the 1860s.
This is not a time to be siding with one group of oppressors or another. This is a rare time—a very rare opening—a chance that may come only once in a lifetime—a chance to take advantage of the deep divisions among the ruling oppressors and go after their whole system, with the aim of bringing the whole thing down, and putting something much better in its place.
Again, note well, in the above quote, this paragraph:
Everything will very likely be coming to a head and coming up for grabs this year, 2024, with the presidential election this year a sharp focus of the fight between the dominating ruling class parties—Democrats and Republicans—a fight that is very likely to break all out of the bounds of the “normal way” they exercise power over the people, and keep their whole murderous system going.

All this week, beginning Wednesday, we will be following this conflict. We will be posting messages that come from Bob Avakian himself, on @BobAvakianOfficial. We’ll be reporting on important developments—conflicts among the powers, actions on the side of the people, and questions that are raging. We’ll be covering what the THE REVCOM CORPS For The Emancipation Of Humanity is saying and doing to bring forward a revolutionary movement in this time, and giving you ways to join in. If you care at all about the future, you will need to be coming here regularly. And you will also want to be tuning in—and getting others to tune in—to The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube, every Thursday at 8 pm Eastern, 7 pm Central, 6 pm Mountain, and 5 pm Pacific.
Right now, on Monday and Tuesday of this week, it is critically important to continually go back to and to spread the latest social media message from @BobAvakianOfficial, REVOLUTION #101, “The ‘choices’ in this election are a damning exposure of this whole system” and the new article from BA, “FASCISM AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM: Why the ‘Mainstream’ Representatives of This System Cannot Fight the Fascists The Way They Need To Be Fought—and Why This Fight Needs to Be Waged as Part of Fighting To Abolish This Whole System.”
Finally, report on any significant developments (revolution.reports@yahoo.com), and don’t hesitate to send in your thoughts!
