Important series from @BobAvakianOfficial:
➤ REVOLUTION #51: Revolutionary Strategy and Tactics, and elections under this system...
➤ REVOLUTION #52: Important historical experience that sheds light on why it was necessary to vote for Biden in 2020
➤ REVOLUTION #53: Why it was necessary to vote for Biden in 2020—why it would not be correct to do so again—and how this relates to larger questions of revolution
➤ REVOLUTION #54: Why, although it was necessary to vote for Biden in 2020, voting for Biden would be terribly wrong in the upcoming election this year
➤ REVOLUTION #55: NO Fascist Trump! NO Genocide Joe! The Whole Damn System’s Got To Go!
“The forces for revolution must come to the fore in the fight against the fascists—and do so not with the aim of preserving, or restoring, the “democratic” form of this murderously oppressive system of capitalism-imperialism, but with the strategic goal of bringing down this whole system, and bringing something much better into being.”

PHILOSOPHY AND REVOLUTION
by Bob Avakian
Two Systems. Two Constitutions. Two Futures.
On The Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, by Bob Avakian
It is a fact that, nowhere else, in any actual or proposed founding or guiding document of any government, is there anything like not only the protection but the provision for dissent and intellectual and cultural ferment that is embodied in this Constitution, while this has, as its solid core, a grounding in the socialist transformation of the economy, with the goal of abolishing all exploitation, and the corresponding transformation of the social relations and political institutions, to uproot all oppression, and the promotion, through the educational system and in society as a whole, of an approach that will “enable people to pursue the truth wherever it leads, with a spirit of critical thinking and scientific curiosity, and in this way to continually learn about the world and be better able to contribute to changing it in accordance with the fundamental interests of humanity.”
Organizing for an Actual Revolution: 7 Key Points >>
Everyone who can’t stand this world, the way it is, needs to be challenged to be part of the revolution that is the way out of this madness. And people need to know there is an actual strategy for making this revolution, based on the key points of the “foundation” and “roadmap” for this revolution in the work by the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian: “Something Terrible, Or Something Truly Emancipating.” The following is the basic means for carrying out this strategy, so that the currently small forces for the revolution that is urgently needed can grow in numbers and strength, quickly in a concentrated way, and become the powerful force that is needed to lead this revolution. Spreading and popularizing these Key Points is also an important part of carrying out this strategy.
Liberalism, “progressivism”—opposition to injustice—and Zionism: you can’t “have it all”—you can’t hold on to Zionism, you can’t be a supporter of Israel, and be consistent in opposing injustice and atrocity

Ending Apartheid as Part of Ending All Oppression—South Africa is Not a “Model.”

“Life is gray, not black or white” is one of the favorite expressions of the petite bourgeois intelligentsia. And, developing the point, this grayness is the catnip that these petit bourgeois intellectuals love to roll around in.... Of course, there are areas of gray. I have made this point many times, and it is a very important point: We do need to engage and struggle through, if you will, the complexity of things in order to reach the richest and deepest and most scientifically correct synthesis. But that’s different than wanting to just go hide — as it’s been said by another leading comrade — hide in the thicket of complexity as a way of languishing [and indulging] in paralysis.

Repression, Resistance and the Potential for Revolution in Iran

The Reality of Communism
Crucial Grounding in Carrying Out Revolutionary Work to Build Up the Basis to Go for the Whole Thing with a Real Chance to Win: Basic Questions of Method and Approach
by Bob Avakian
Excerpts from Part 2 of the 2007 talk Making Revolution and Emancipating Humanity.
These two articles by Bob Avakian on exploitation—and putting an end to exploitation and oppression— contain a very concentrated and popularized understanding of basic essentials as to what this capitalist-imperialist system actually is, and what it actually rests on, why it has to be overthrown and replaced by a socialist system aiming for a communist world, and what are essential elements of that new society and world.
