THE REVCOM CORPS For the Emancipation of Humanity
From Palestine to the USA, Real Revolution is the Way
"Why is Biden, and basically the entire government and ruling class of the U.S., supporting Israel in carrying out genocide against the Palestinian people, before the whole world? Here is the answer to that crucial question:
"This is not because of 'the power of the Jewish lobby'—or because of some ignorant, ridiculous and outrageous notion that 'Jews are controlling everything.' It is because Israel plays a 'special role' as a heavily armed bastion of support for U.S. imperialism in a strategically important part of the world (the 'Middle East'). And Israel has been a key force in the commission of atrocities which have helped to maintain the oppressive rule of U.S. imperialism in many other parts of the world.
"It’s the system! The system of capitalism-imperialism that Biden serves. The system he has to serve—the system that anybody and everybody has to serve if they want to hold office, and especially 'high office,' like president, within this system. That is why Biden is doing what he’s doing—what all these politicians are doing—above and beyond their more narrow personal interests.
"It’s the system! This system of capitalism-imperialism that embodies and enforces white supremacy, patriarchal male supremacy and other brutal oppression—this system resting on ruthless life-stealing exploitation of masses of people in this country and literally billions of people worldwide, including more than 150 million children—all enforced with massive violence and destruction, of people and the environment, posing a very real threat to the future and the existence of humanity.
"This system that needs to be overthrown at the soonest possible time, through an actual revolution."

Follow, Listen and Share: Critical Questions and Answers for what is to be done in this time of great horror…
Bob Avakian breaks down why this revolution is more possible now, and how such a revolution could actually be made.
"What is the legitimate way to fight against the state of Israel, and what is a just solution to all this?
"The answer is definitely not to 'kill off all the Jews in Israel' or 'drive them into the sea.' The answer is the abolition of the state of Israel, and in its place the creation of a revolutionary state in which the government and the laws do not promote any religion and do not favor one people over another, and instead there is equality between Jews and Palestinians.
"The answer is also definitely not the 'two-state solution' being promoted by the Biden administration. Such a 'two-state solution' would really amount to nothing more than a powerful state of Israel continuing to occupy land stolen from the Palestinian people, while the so-called 'Palestinian state' created with this 'solution' would be a bitter joke—a puppet state—merely a patchwork of separated small territories, surrounded and dominated by Israel, with the Palestinian people still subjected to terrible oppression and deprivation.
"The answer is that the fight against the state of Israel must be waged on a revolutionary basis, with the goal of putting an end to all oppressive relations and all inequality among people based on race and nationality, sex and gender, and all relations in which one part of society exploits others. And the urgent need is for a revolutionary force to emerge to lead the struggle on that basis."

for the Emancipation of Humanity
For everyone who can’t stand the way the world is today…
A new growing, disciplined, bold and fearless force recruiting in this time of great danger for the future of humanity —
A time that also holds the potential for a real revolution for the emancipation of humanity.
Build and join Revcom contingents at March 2 protests for Palestine
As the death toll in Gaza climbs over 30,000, with starvation and disease spreading, a whole generation of children traumatized, and Israel now set to invade what has been the only semi-safe city of Rafah, escalating the slaughter to a whole new monstrous level and very possibly pushing Palestinians out of Gaza altogether… a number of pro-Palestinian organizations have put out a call for a global day of protest March 2 demanding “Hands off Rafah! Ceasefire now! Stop the genocide!”
The Revcoms need to be there! Uniting with these demands, bringing people a revolutionary understanding of the problem and solution, and recruiting people to join the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity. Find a March 2 protest in your area and organize a Revcom contingent!

Some elements to begin preparing now:
** THE CONTINGENT: Be an organized contingent—a group marching together putting out the same revolutionary message. This will enable us to have impact that is greater than our numbers, making people turn their heads and say “who are those people?” Start recruiting people now for this and give them a sense of the impact it makes when they are part of a bold, disciplined, revolutionary force. Get a bullhorn or sound system and have one or two people leading chants and agitating. And a drummer or two if possible (for rhythm and excitement). A couple people hold the banner. A couple people pass out flyers to everyone around the contingent—keep an eye on who’s vibing with the Revcoms message and organize them into this revolution! Come to the protest early and gather people for the contingent.
** FLYER: Download and print this flyer from The Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity to distribute broadly at these protests. Add local contact info. A good time to get the flyers out to everyone is during the opening rally. Lift people’s sights to a whole different way that the world can be by spreading We Need and We Demand: a Whole New Way to Live, A Fundamentally Different System.
** BANNERS: Download and make banners of these: THE REVCOM CORPS For the Emancipation of Humanity and From Palestine to the USA, Real Revolution is the Way.
** Look to revcom.us mid-week for more suggestions of chants that are in line with the main banners.
** AGITATION: Email or DM the organizers and request to speak at these protests if you can. But whether we’re able to speak from the stage or not, we need to find the ways to do revolutionary agitation that reaches into the hearts and minds of the crowd. Listen (or re-listen) to the @BobAvakianOfficial social media messages 4-7 for inspiration and guidance. In these messages Bob Avakian brings out the truth about the apartheid state of Israel, why the U.S. is backing it, what all this reveals about the murderous nature of the capitalist-imperialist system and the revolutionary solution. These messages speak to big questions on the minds of millions now, and they are completely different from anything else at these protests. They must become heard and spread. Wield and drive people to @BobAvakianOfficial, now and at the protests. Tap into people’s agony about the horrors in Gaza. Struggle with them about how they understand the problem and solution. Challenge people to get organized NOW into the revolution, in this moment when the U.S. empire is cracking from within and we have a real shot to bring the whole thing down and bring something much better into being.
** ORGANIZING FORCES: We are recruiting thousands now who can lead millions this year, as the divisions in society intensify and very likely come to a head around the upcoming election. As Bob Avakian put it in @BobAvakianOfficial REVOLUTION Number 8, “With thousands organized into the ranks of the revolution, millions can be won to revolution; and with millions won to revolution, there could be a real possibility for this revolution to win.” These March 2 contingents at the “Hands off Rafah” protests can play a role in bringing forward those thousands and training people as emancipators of humanity.
