"The Declaration of Independence (and Related Questions):
Inventions and Distortions of Reality and History-- In the Service of Real and Repeated Atrocity"
Part 1: "Profound Inequality, Brutal Oppression—and Crude Distortion of the Actual Foundation and Nature of this Country"
Bob Avakian (BA) is a radically different leader. He has developed a whole new framework for human emancipation, the new communism. Today, after 50 years in the revolutionary movement, BA continues to throw his all into identifying in a sweeping way, what humanity is up against, why we’re in that situation; where we can and need to go; how to get there; and all the obstacles that stand in our way. His profound, critical and timely new series on the Declaration of Independence (And Related Questions) is an example of what he has been doing.
We encourage everyone to join Carl Dix and the RevCom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity for a series of discussions digging into this work, starting Monday, June 29 at Revolution Books in Harlem. Read Part 1...

Discussion of Pt. 1 from THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE (And Related Questions): INVENTIONS AND DISTORTIONS OF REALITY AND HISTORY—IN THE SERVICE OF REAL AND REPEATED ATROCITY
Friday, June 26, 2026, 7 p.m.
Part 1: Profound Inequality, Brutal Oppression—and Crude Distortion of the Actual Foundation and Nature of this Country. Read here.
Excerpt from part 1:
"To begin, there is this critical analysis in my recent work HUMANITY ON THE BRINK: A Forced March Into the Abyss, or Forging a Way Forward Out of the Madness?:
Here it’s worth stepping back and reviewing the history of this country and the system in this country from the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution to today—to the thoroughly outmoded monstrosity of capitalism-imperialism. At the beginning of this country, at the initiation of the war of independence (which they like to call a revolutionary war), it was declared that “all men are created equal.” But the whole history of this country from that time forward has proven that it is definitely not the case within this country that there is equality for all. Even at the time when the Declaration of Independence and then the Constitution were written, there were huge numbers of slaves. There were Native Americans whose land was being stolen and who were being subjected to genocidal atrocity. There were women who basically had no rights, and certainly none equal to men. There was, in short, a system of exploitation which was given further impetus by breaking free of British colonialism.1
"As I will show through this series, in the Declaration of Independence in particular, and in the celebration of what it has served to establish, maintain and expand, there are indeed fundamental inventions and distortions of reality and history, in the service of very real and repeated atrocity."
Join us for a series of discussions of Bob Avakian's articles.
On Friday, July 3rd, we will discuss Part 2: Rights Are Not "Endowed" by "God," and "To Secure These Rights" Is Not the Reason Governments Are Established.
Sunsara Taylor Speaking Tour: We Need and We Demand: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM
Saturday, July 11th, 6 p.m.
You see the increasing madness. It eats at you.
Will you dare learn the way out?
Will you dare learn the way out?
COME HEAR A TALK BY SUNSARA TAYLOR
Why Come Hear Sunsara Taylor?
Because millions are driven from their homelands—only to be hunted like animals by ICE.
Yet it is possible to meet people's needs everywhere. Without savage inequalities and exploitation. Celebrating different languages and cultures.
Because the Fascist Trump Regime unleashes open white supremacy and vile hatred against women and trans people. Shreds basic rights. Imposes an even more brutal, terroristic form of rule.
Yet it is possible to end racism, liberate women and end gender oppression.
Because the U.S. launches wars of imperialist aggression. Backs the genocidal terrorist state of Israel—under Biden and Trump. Risks nuclear conflict. All while the planet burns.
Yet it is possible to move beyond war and marshal humanity’s resources to care for the Earth.
THE SCIENTIFIC TRUTH:
All these horrors flow from THE SYSTEM OF CAPITALISM-IMPERIALISM.
This system cannot be reformed.
It must be overthrown through a REAL REVOLUTION.
Relying on the Democratic Party is a loser. They are part of the problem! Electing “progressives” within this same system is meaningless. Tinkering on the margins with mutual aid falls woefully short. And while we need much more righteous resistance like in Minneapolis, even this can only go so far.
Humanity needs REVOLUTION and REAL SOCIALISM—a radically different economic, social and political system, and a transition to a communist world free of all exploitation and oppression.
You've been told to stay away from COMMUNISM.
NO! Past revolutions brought liberating transformations to hundreds of millions. Not surprisingly, these first revolutions were also marked by shortcomings and errors.
Now, through decades of work and struggle, Bob Avakian (BA) has scientifically sifted through this rich experience, advanced beyond it, and brought this together with advances in other fields to forge the new communism, a whole new framework for the emancipation of humanity. BA has written the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic In North America. This is the only real alternative to the worsening spiral of capitalist destruction.
You've been told that revolution is impossible. Bullshit! No empire lasts forever. With the rulers at each others' throats and society ripping apart, revolution is more possible—and we have a strategy.
Now is the time for you to step in.
Part of you resists this. If it’s true—it demands you leave your comfort zone.
But a bigger part of you knows: It would betray your conscience and humanity itself to refuse to find out, because...
If this is real—there is nothing more meaningful you could do with your life.
If this is real—there is nothing more meaningful you could do with your life.
Come hear the truth. Confront the world as it actually is—and as it could be.
Come find out why you should become a new communist revolutionary.
