What is BEB? Bourgeois Electoral Bullshit: the ridiculous idea that you change this system that viciously preys on you—and millions and billions of people like you, in this country and all over the world—by voting for this group or that group of bourgeois (capitalist) vultures.

Bob Avakian Exposes the BEB (Bourgeois Electoral Bullshit):
IF YOU WANT TO SEE NO FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE—GO VOTE
“Go Vote!” we are told repeatedly, and with special emphasis at times like this when there is a massive outpouring of outrage at the crimes of this system. Sure, go vote—for one politician or another, all representing the very same system that has caused the outrage of police terror and murder in the first place! Go vote—to give a “mandate” (a big “thumbs up”) to this monstrosity of a system, that is plundering the environment, that has white supremacy and male supremacy poured into its very foundation, and is committing countless crimes against humanity every day—and cannot do otherwise. No matter whom you vote for, from either one of their parties, that is what you are voting for. Sure, voting for this system is bound to solve the problems that are caused by this system! How many times will people be played for fools like this?! If you want to make a real difference, instead of registering people to vote, how about bringing people into the revolution?
Instead of being a tail on the Democratic donkey—with its attempt to keep this monstrous system going, and to deal with the growing fascist danger, by relying on the “normal procedures” of this system and doomed efforts to “heal the divisions” that are deepening every day—people need to work for the revolution that is urgently needed, and deal with the fascist danger as part of doing that.

BEB Revealed - Los Angeles @therevcoms

Mushroom cloud over Hiroshima.
Here are just a few of the crimes the U.S., under both Republi-fascists and Democrats, has committed since World War 2 in the world as a whole. THIS is a stunning and telling indictment of the U.S. ruling class as a whole and the Democratic Party in particular.
Today, with Biden playing “nuclear chicken” with both Russia and China, it is extremely important to know this record. Add it up: Each party has been willing in the years since World War II, to sacrifice millions upon millions of innocent people to maintain their empire.
Individualism, BEB and the Illusion of “Painless Progress”
by Bob Avakian"...One of the most common and problematical forms of this repeated and stubborn insistence on chasing after the illusion of “painless progress,” particularly among people who consider themselves somewhat enlightened (or progressive, or “woke,” or however they want to put it), is what we very rightly term BEB—Bourgeois Electoral Bullshit—and the phenomenon that people continually confine themselves to the narrow limits of what is presented to them by one section of the ruling class, as embodied in the Democratic Party: “These are the limits of what I’ll consider in terms of possibly bringing about change”—because this is the well-worn rut of what is, at least up to this point, relatively safe in terms of political engagement. It may even become not-so-safe in the future, depending on how things go with these fascists who are working to consolidate their power right now through the ruling regime of Trump and Pence. But for now it seems relatively painless. It is also completely ineffectual and doesn’t bring about any kind of change that’s needed, but it’s a way to feel that you’re doing something while avoiding any sacrifice, and even any real discomfort."
