March 8—International Women's Day
Celebrate International Women's Day 2014
This year, on the weekend of International Women's Day: Saturday, March 8, should be a day of resistance against the horrific oppression of women; and Sunday, March 9, should be a celebration of the bright future made possible through revolution. The spirit of internationalism should infuse both of these days.
Special Feature for International Women's Day
On Obama’s “My Brother’s Keeper” Speech
Obama’s February 27 speech launched what he is calling "My Brother’s Keeper" initiative, which is supposedly about “empowering boys and young men of color.” The speech puts forth an upside-down, completely wrong and poisonous understanding of the actual problem facing not just young Black and brown men but ALL people of color.

Two Year Anniversary of the Murder of Trayvon Martin:
Nationwide Outpouring Against Police and Racist Murders of Black and Latino Youth
A Message from Carl Dix on February 26
What we are doing today is critically important. The refusal of the system to convict Michael Dunn for the murder of Jordan Davis, on top of the exoneration of George Zimmerman, the vigilante murderer of Trayvon Martin, amounted to Amerikkka telling us, once again, that Black people have no rights that whites are bound to respect.

Ukraine: The Wolves Are Loose
What Will It Really Take to Prevent Earth’s Environmental Collapse?
A polemic taking on the article “Sleepwalking to Extinction” in Adbusters, which correctly points to capitalism as the source of the looming environmental disaster but goes completely off track in looking to the “democratic instincts” of mass uprisings around the world as the solution.
Darwin Day in the ‘Hood
On February 11, a group of us met in a library room in the ‘hood to celebrate Darwin Day and discuss the importance of the science of evolution.
Reader writes on BAsics 4:10:
Getting Beyond “Might Makes Right”
For humanity to advance beyond a state in which "might makes right"—and where things ultimately come down to raw power relations—will require, as a fundamental element in this advance, an approach to understanding things (an epistemology) which recognizes that reality and truth are objective and do not vary in accordance with, nor depend on, different "narratives" and how much "authority" an idea (or "narrative") may have behind it, or how much power and force can be wielded on behalf of any particular idea or "narrative," at any given point.

We ARE building a movement for revolution and building the Party as its leading core.

You can't change the world if you don't know the BAsics.
BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian is a book of quotations and short essays that speaks powerfully to questions of revolution and human emancipation.
At the beginning of 2012, an in-depth interview with Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, was conducted over a period of several days by A. Brooks, a younger- generation revolutionary who has been inspired by the leadership and body of work of Bob Avakian and the new synthesis of communism this has brought forward.
