“A Well Thought Out Alternative”—Excerpted Comments from a Retired Minister
| revcom.us
Monday I went to be in solidarity with the nurses in their action at Harlem hospital. On a light pole I saw a flier from the RCP comparing the Trump/Pence response to the pandemic to how an RCP-led country would respond with direct quotes from Avakian’s proposed constitution. It was a very impressive piece with the difference between night and day.... I would get that out there asap. I’d love to see it again. More important, it clearly and concretely illustrates the better way. Not just a critique of Trump/Pence but a well thought out alternative, something for us to think about and have conversations with neighbors about....
I could write a whole other essay on my history with communists, some of the best people I have ever known, but this is not that. Whatever else you might say about Avakian, he is certainly thorough in cases like this laying out what a decent, effective and efficient governmental policy related to public health and epidemics might look like. Written years before this Corona virus global pandemic just because, well, epidemics happen. They are part of our life. Certainly not like this one, but.... Suffice it to say, if I had to choose between Trump and the Revcoms, well, all power to the people....

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
