Daily, the truth of these words from Bob Avakian (BA) stand out more sharply:
We, the people of the world, can no longer afford to allow these imperialists to continue to dominate the world and determine the destiny of humanity. They need to be overthrown as quickly as possible. And it is a scientific fact that we do not have to live this way.
As we embark on a year that will be full of new demands and much struggle in the fight for a radically different and far better world, revcom.us is launching a drive to raise $20,000 to continue to maintain a robust Revolution website.
As the Trump regime accelerates its brutal moves to consolidate fascism in the U.S., with all the horrors on top of horrors that will bring to people here and the world over, this website is more crucial than ever. Revcom.us must play a key role in leading the revolutionary way out of this madness to a whole different world.
It is at revcom.us that people here and in over 150 countries worldwide can access the full range of work (in English and Spanish) that BA has done over decades in bringing forward the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a critical historical juncture—a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in this country. And through his interviews, writings and social media messages @BobAvakianOfficial, he charts the road forward to both the need and possibility of making revolution, speaking to the burning questions of the hour.
BA has been sounding the alarm about the rise of fascism for 30 years, and his analysis of its roots in the system of capitalism-imperialism is essential to understand not only what we face, but how this regime can be driven from power. This is concentrated in the compilation available at revcom.us—Bob Avakian’s Work on Fascism: 1996-2025.
BA is the author of the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, which contains the sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for a socialist society that is in transition to a communist world—a world in which humanity will be emancipated from all forms and relations of exploitation and oppression, and from the ignorance and selfishness required and perpetuated by systems based on exploitation. Revcom.us is where people can read this Constitution and dig into what it says—like in the current series on how the new socialist state would deal with relations with other countries in a way that is totally different from what U.S. imperialism does around the world, and even from the way previous socialist states have handled this question.
This new socialist system can only be brought about through an actual revolution involving millions in which the old machinery of exploitation, domination and oppression is not reformed but abolished. Revcom.us makes available to people the strategy that BA has forged for how to make this revolution, in this most powerful and destructive empire in history.
Revcom.us is where people go each week for urgently needed, scientific, internationalist exposure and analysis of world events—from the uprising in Iran, to the fascist MAGA moves across the Western Hemisphere and other parts of the world… attacks on women and trans people… persecution and brutalization of immigrants and Black people… existential threats to humanity from climate change caused by this system and war, possibly nuclear war, between imperialists… and much more. In this moment, revcom.us reports on the fascist moves Trump is making, exposing the roots of this fascism in the history of this country and in the capitalist-imperialist system.
It is at revcom.us that people can learn about and connect with the REVCOM CORPS For The Emancipation Of Humanity. It’s where people can join with others in the movement for revolution and get the guidance and find the ways to contribute to and work together, in a unified way to not only wage the struggle to drive out the Trump regime, but as a part of preparing the ground and the people for the revolution that is so urgently needed.
Revcom.us is a lifeline for people agonizing about what is happening in the U.S. and world and seeking solutions—giving people a scientific understanding of what is happening, why it is happening, what is in the interests of humanity, and how to emancipate humanity through revolution. It must be accessible to all, and maintained and expanded. The $20,000 needed must be raised by the end of February.

An Update on the Revcom.us Fund Drive:
The Dynamic Factor of C. Clark Kissinger’s Article
The 2026 fund drive to sustain and expand the reach of revcom.us has begun. Meeting the initial match of $2,000 collectively contributed by volunteers on the staff has propelled this drive forward. We still have $11,369 to raise by the end of February, but the donations made so far really matter to being able to maximize this website’s role in fighting for revolution and a new society.
In reaching out to donors, we want to share how important the recent piece by C. Clark Kissinger on the occasion of his 85th birthday—“85 Down, I Still Have 15 to Go… but Trump Has to Go Now!”—has been in connecting with new readers as well as longtime supporters and readers of revcom.us.
A number of people who contributed to the drive have spoken to the impact that Clark’s article had on compelling them to donate. Just a few of these comments:
“Wow! Wow! Wow!”
“This was quite impressive… that this person is projecting this kind of revolutionary spirit and burning at this age and looking forward to more. This new synthesis [of communism developed by Bob Avakian, including] how freedom can be wrenched from necessity—it’s like opening the door to something that one might have previously thought not possible.”
“The whole piece resonates but it was helpful to see it put together like that and something important to reflect on especially the breakthroughs brought forward by BA. For me, especially the understanding of internationalism. ... Part 3 in [Clark’s] piece on the new communism gives people a ‘sense of real hope in these extremely dark times.’”
Contributing to maintaining and expanding the coverage and reach of revcom.us is crucial at this historic juncture—a rare time when revolution has become more possible in this country. Key in this is the role of revcom.us in projecting Avakian's leadership and the new communism he has forged. As Clark says in his article: “Today, with the defeat of the great revolutions of the 20th century, the globalization of capitalist production, the existential climate threat to the planet, and the world-wide spread of fascist movements, the old tools of bourgeois liberalism, social-democratic labor movements, and even the best of past communist thought, have been shown to be utterly inadequate to the challenges facing humanity. It is at this point that Bob Avakian has stepped forward to address what has to be done, but with a qualitatively transformed and more scientific, evidence-based method and approach. Avakian has given humanity the tools for its next great leap.”
Now is the time to donate to revcom.us!
The $2,000 match challenge from the staff of revcom.us has been met! Thanks to all who have donated so far.
Warm revolutionary greetings to all.
We who volunteer our time and resources as staff for this website put up $2K challenge that has been met! This is toward the fundraising goal of $20,000 by March 1.
As this fund drive is being launched, we are watching the emergence of the courage of thousands, compelled to stand up in the face of real danger, focused in Minneapolis right now with the possibility to draw in many, many others, in response to fascist outrages most thought "couldn't happen here". We are watching as the anger, hopes, and dreams of the masses of people in Iran has once again burst onto the stage. Many people are beginning to see in stark relief the inhumanity and brutality of those in power, especially the fascist Trump regime, in contrast to the humanity and, as one woman in Minneapolis said, the love, empathy, and courage of those standing up to these things.
At the same time, it stands out sharply how so few understand that the source of the nightmares humanity confronts, including the Trump fascist regime, is the system of capitalism-imperialism, and that this is profoundly UNnecessary. Revolution could bring into being a whole new way to live, a fundamentally different system. The fact that so few know of this is a problem to solve, quickly. People need the new communism that Bob Avakian has brought forward, and the leadership he's providing, in this rare time when revolution is more possible.
Revcom.us is where people can get timely scientific analysis of the system that rules in this country and dominates the world... why this system can't be reformed but must be abolished through an actual revolution... what a radically new society will look like after a revolution... and how to actively work now for this revolution in the face of intensifying dangers and horrors. If you don't know deeply what this website is about, it's all here for the taking.
So we, the revcom.us staff, challenge you: Donate toward the $20,000 goal to maintain and expand this website and its reach. Donate to support this crucial mission.
