Jordan Neely, a young Black man who entertained crowds as Michael Jackson, was murdered May 1 on the NYC subway by a white former Marine who was well trained in murder by the U.S. military. What was Jordan’s crime? Listen to Jordan’s words right before his lynching: “I don’t have food, I don’t have a drink, I’m fed up … I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison … I’m ready to die.” And for this the former Marine, aided by others who held Jordan down, choked him to death—squeezed the life out of Jordan Neely.

This depraved system of capitalism-imperialism and those who enforce its ways-- from the official pigs and military, to the Black Giuliani Eric Adams who would not even say the name of Jordan Neely, to those so-called “good citizens” who take up the heartless values of this system including in violent ways and even snuff out the life of someone who is desperately in need. This system and those who lose their humanity to its values and morals have no use for beautiful people like Jordan. No use for the Black and Brown young men and women who roam the streets and subways of one of the richest cities in the world, homeless, dealing with the mental anguish and pain of growing up in this hell hole.

The cold and bitter truth is that this system has no future for millions of Black and Brown people like Jordan: those suffering from mental illness, those relegated to live on the streets and in the shadows, those millions they can't profitably exploit...who are completely dispensable under this capitalist—imperialist system—whose only measure is profit, profit, profit.

And this is what I, Carl Dix am here to say to you—

WE ARE THE REVCOMS. WE ARE WORKING NOW, AND WE ARE WORKING URGENTLY FOR A REAL REVOLUTION.  Shaping up before us now are two fundamentally opposed futures: Something Terrible, Or Something Truly Emancipating. And this truth rings out now more powerfully than ever: Which future we get depends to a great extent on what WE do and “we” includes you.

Bob Avakian has sharply expressed this profound reality: “We can no longer afford to allow these imperialists to continue to dominate the world and determine the destiny of humanity. And it is a scientific fact that humanity does not have to live this way—a whole different way to organize society, a whole better world, is possible.”

We need some real talk now. We are working now for a real revolution and we will settle for nothing less than this. By revolution I mean we are working to bring into being a system where instead of the dog-eat-dog daily reality, which gets expressed in so many ways on the streets, treating each other as commodities, fighting over scraps, or mowing each other down, we are fighting now to bring into being an economic system and a political system which could not only  meet the needs of the masses of humanity, and heal the environment from the terrible system, but would proceed from understanding the people are our most precious resource.

And here’s what I DON'T mean: the bullshit, so-called solutions that have only kept this system in place, and reinforced its hold over the masses of oppressed people. Don’t fall once again for honeyed words from the likes of Al Sharpton, or AOC, that cry out for justice but never really point you to the real problem—this system—and to the only solution— real revolution. Our choices don’t lie with siding with that vicious oinker, Eric Adams, who relishes in presiding over how those at the bottom of this system get even further brutalized and discarded. And our interests don’t lie in being played by this system, falling behind this Black face or this female face that put out calls for justice and equality that they know this system is incapable of meeting.

It’s time to get serious about a whole better way to live, without exploitation and oppression.

It’s time to get with the leadership, the method, and the strategy to make this revolution real. A revolution requires extraordinary, scientific leadership. We have that in Bob Avakian (BA), who has charted the road map, the mission, and the blueprint for the future society worthy of our humanity. This is a leader to get to know and to follow.

THIS IS THE MOVEMENT YOU NEED TO GET WITH NOW. 

BECOME PART OF THIS EMANCIPATING REVOLUTION!
