July 4, Philadelphia, The RevComs Delivered a Message at Independence Hall:

On July 4, we came to the birthplace of America to demand the ABOLITION of this system and its Constitution... We demand this be DISMANTLED and REPLACED by a new, socialist system based on the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic.

Michelle Xai, a leader of the Revolution Club, powerfully indicted the U.S. Constitution—symbolically dripping in the blood of the people of the world.   In contrast, she and other revcoms spoke to the ways society would be run on a whole different foundation with the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic.

This is spoken to powerfully in the new Declaration released on July 4th:

In the Name of the People... In the Name of Humanity...

WE DECLARE AND WE DEMAND:

The Existing Capitalist-Imperialist System and Institutions of Government In This Country Must Be Abolished and Dismantled—And Replaced By a New, Socialist System Based on the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America

After a short march, Xai led a group of RevComs—revolutionary communists—in shredding the American flag in front of Independence Hall.  “We are the revcoms,” she said, “we are fighting for a real revolution and a whole new emancipating way to live.”

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

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