** Tune in TODAY after The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show for a live talk back with some of the people leading the National Campaign to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Everywhere. At 6 pm PT (8 pm CT, 9 pm ET), on youtube.com/therevcoms. We'll be responding live to your comments and questions. We'll share some of what we've learned nationally... and talk about the plans over these next weeks and days to radically change what people are thinking and doing... to impact all of society with Bob Avakian's revolutionary leadership.

As you will see tonight on The RNL Show, some deep things are going on in Chicago over BA's message Number 73, "Black people hating on immigrants, Nonsense, and worse, from people who should know better." We'll share more soon! If you want join in the debate yourself from wherever you are, go to the comments sections of any of these posts @BobAvakianOfficial.

Bob Avakian: Why I am NOT running for president

 

** The social media message from Bob Avakian, Revolution #81: Why I Am Not Running for President, directly takes on all the illusions about reforming this system in a hard hitting, crisp and powerful way. In the run up to the Presidential Debate next Tuesday night, between MAGA fascist Trump and war-crimes backing Kamala, this message needs to be EVERYWHERE! 

Be part of a big push between now and Wednesday to get this up and out in a major way: this should be plastered on walls, in conjunction with freeway banners and major mass flyering efforts. Set goals. Be part of this if your'e brand new or been involved for a while... this is a chance to shake awake many, many thousands of people who are being trained to think on the terms of this system. We'll update you through the weekend about how many people we're reaching nationally.

 

Revolution: Building Up the Basis to Go for the Whole Thing, With a Real Chance to Win says that the strategy for real revolution—in this time—must be "sharply posed directly against the BEB (Bourgeois Electoral Bullshit) of this capitalist-imperialist system, and in particular the BEB leading into the 2024 presidential election—all of which serves to keep people chained to this system."

Revolution #81, which concentrates so much about who Bob Avakian is and what he has spent his life fighting for and bringing forward stands in sharp contrast to all these other bourgeois politicians and so-called leaders, is a great way to do all this.

Stay tuned for a new fundraising goal so that we can combine this with a big push for online advertising with this through next week (and beyond).

100 Share Challenge to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Everywhere

 

** Last weekend, we got halfway to our goal of having 100 people share @BobAvakianOfficial on their social media. At least 50 put this in front of their friends and followers. This matters. But it's not enough, and we intend to fight through for the goal of 100!

In this, two things that did happen: there was a leap in people following BA on Instagram. There were people who weren't ready to share this themselves, but who want to hear what BA is saying. And second, in fighting to push out for people to share this, BA's posts got much more of a reach. This matters. But it's also not enough for people to just give something a thumbs up. If we're going to actually build up the forces for revolution in this time, we're going to have to fight for people to spread BA's voice themselves.

We also learned a lot through the process about the kind of struggle we have to wage. Some people who shared it responded to the fact that no one else besides Bob Avakian and the revcoms he leads is even talking about making a real revolution in this country. For others, there are questions—and differences—about whether they're going to put themselves out there to fight for something so controversial. And then there's all the bullshit ways that people see their social media as a way to "curate their image." So there's a struggle to wage with people—in a time when the whole future hangs in the balance, what are they going to fight for? As one person on our team said, "C'mon, you'll share ten cringe memes about how capitalism sucks, but you won't share the only leader in this country talking about how to end capitalism. That doesn't make any kind of sense!" A question for those people: Do you think sharing BA's messages will harm your "anti-capitalist brand"?

Having learned from all this, we're going to fight through to make this 100 shares goal, and more! 

** Finally, a heads up and a call for social media warriors: next Tuesday night, during the presidential debate, join a national team online intervening in the debates and discussion during and after the debate. Sign up here and spread the word.

From the genocide in Gaza, to the growing threat of world war between nuclear powers, to escalating environmental devastation… the capitalist-imperialist system ruling over us is a horror for billions around the world and is tearing up the fabric of life on earth. Now the all-out battle within the U.S. ruling class, between fascist Republicans and war criminal Democrats, is coming to a head—likely during, or before, the coming elections—ripping society apart unlike anything since the Civil War.

Bob Avakian (BA), revolutionary leader and author of the new communism, has developed a strategy to prepare for and make revolution. He’s scientifically analyzed that this is a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible, and has laid out the sweeping vision, solid foundation and concrete blueprint for “what comes next,” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

The website revcom.us follows and applies that leadership and is essential to all this. We post new materials from BA and curate his whole body of work. We apply the science he’s developed to analyze and expose every key event in society, every week. Revcom.us posts BA’s timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists), including his social media posts which break this down for people every week and sometimes more. We act as a guiding and connecting hub for the growing revcom movement nationwide: not just showing what’s being done, but going into what’s right and what’s wrong and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force.

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but goes up to a whole different level!

So what should you give to make 2024 our year—a year of revolution?
