Coming Events at Revolution Books

PRESENTATION and DISCUSSION on these four social media dispatches from:  @BobAvakianOfficial on:

REVOLUTION #63: Tactical Difficulty, Strategic Possibility for Revolution.
REVOLUTION #64: The Increasing Craziness, the Intensifying Situation and the Possibility of Revolution.
REVOLUTION #65: What if the Democrats just accept Trump and fascism? 
What if the Democrats don’t? 
And what does all this have to do with the possibility for an actual revolution?
REVOLUTION #66: Everything depends on bringing forward a revolutionary people.
Bob Avakian's posts address what is driving the almost daily jolts and twists in this crazy and intensifying situation - just today Biden withdrew his candidacy!

Read the posts, take them out to others, come to the discussion and bring your thoughts, questions, criticisms and the controversies raised by people you reach out to. What do you run into when you talk to people about what Bob Avakian says we must do to wrench an emancipating revolution out of this crazy and intensifying situation? What are YOU going to do?

At a time when...

* Israel has murdered some 40,000 people in Gaza, including more than 15,000 children...

* Israel has destroyed or badly damaged the vast majority of schools, medical facilities, sewage systems, water sources, and intentionally created conditions for famine…

THIS IS GENOCIDE, carried out with the full backing of the USA.

"The Night Won’t End": Biden’s War on Gaza an Al Jazeera Faultlines film by Kavitha Chekuru and Sharif Abdel Kouddous.

From air strikes to field executions, Faultlines investigates the killings of civilians by the Israeli military in Gaza and the role of the United States in the war. Faultlines worked with journalists in Gaza to profile three families as they try to survive the war.

The film follows three Palestinian families as they recount the horrific experiences they have endured under relentless Israeli assault, including the family of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, the young Palestinian girl who made headlines when it emerged in January that she had been trapped in a car with family members killed by Israeli ground troops, and the Salem family, who first lost dozens of family members in an Israeli airstrike and then additional family members who were executed by Israeli soldiers.

Revolution Books is showing this film now to contribute to the struggle to stop Israel’s US-sponsored genocide in Gaza, and as part of our work to bring forward a movement for revolution in this country at this urgent time.

No Fascist Trump! No Genocide Joe! The Whole Damn System’s Got to Go!

Donations at the door.
