“YOU ARE COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE!”

Major Democratic Party Fundraiser Repeatedly Disrupted

On Thursday night, March 28, while American-made bombs rained down on the people of Gaza, “Genocide Joe” Biden held a major fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. More than 5,000 people attended, and they raised more than $25 million—the most funds raised at any presidential fundraiser. Not only was this attended by war criminals Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, but a bunch of celebrities spoke and performed. 

Despite the attempts to project unity and stability, the event was repeatedly disrupted by people crying out: “You have blood on your hands!” “Shame on you Joe Biden, you are funding genocide in Palestine,” “Stop arming Israel,” and a sharp rebuke to the audience, “You are complicit in genocide!”

Two banners were unfurled from the mezzanine: “Stop Arming Israel” and “Let Gaza Live.”

The protest was organized by a coalition of groups, including Jewish Voice for Peace, Adalah Justice Project and more. According to their Instagram post, “Despite efforts by Biden staffers to keep protesters away, including refusing entry to multiple rabbis, Palestinian youth, descendants of Holocaust survivors, former Democratic staffers, and climate activists, our opposition to his aiding in Israel’s genocide was loud and powerful.”

While this was happening inside, hundreds more people rallied outside, including a contingent of revcoms.

In addition to the ugly hypocrisy of these American war criminals, a special Bootlicking Hall of Shame award goes to Cynthia Erivo, Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Lea Michele, Ben Platt, Mindy Kaling, Annie Liebovitz and Stephen Colbert—adding glitz and glamour to the blood-soaked affair. This was grotesque support and complicity. As the protesters said when they were being dragged out, “The blood is on your hands!”

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!
