On BA’s Talk on the Trump/Pence Fascist Regime:
“Wow!”
[This talk] is a truly masterful concentration of both current conjunctural (fascism on the rise) and deeper historical roots analyses (how did we get to this point and why?), along with leadership being given to what to do about all this, all while never failing to reveal and confidently proceed back from the largest and most strategic objectives of the New Communism, while also providing a school of method and principle, plus an outlining of the basic pathway forward in practice for those with whom unity can be forged in the current conjuncture even if they don’t yet share (and might never share) those ultimate communist objectives. A model of solid core, with lots of elasticity based on the solid core. A model of unite all who can be united, on the right basis and with the right methods. A model of calm confidence and certitude based on science. A model of decency, of morality, of approachability, of humor and compassion, and yes of hope, all the while not falling into the slightest bit of tailing or ass-kissing and instead waging ferocious polemical struggle with the masses of different strata to work on those living contradictions and challenge and bust through the obstacles and the confining and paralyzing frameworks of this period. And all in an hour. Wow! And then with it the Q&As, with all its intangibles, substance, remarkable scientific ease and liveliness on full display "off the cuff"—Wow yet again!
Testimonials
Having gone and listened to a live, public Bob Avakian speech, as I have, is to be exposed to one of the most provocative, serious and controversial social thinkers of our time. He’s an American original who should be heard, debated and critiqued for these dramatic and troubling times.
…more important than a wake-up call, it’s a call to action… so we can fight, resist, organize, mobilize against this fascist regime that we have in the U.S. Read more
I love it when he talks about my people being all people… My people across the board—I don’t care who they are…he always puts the struggle against white supremacy at the center… Second, the centrality of the issue of gender, the vicious forms of patriarchy… Third, empire—invasions, dominations… And the fourth, the planet—not just global warming. It’s ecological catastrophe… Read more
Bob Avakian is a compelling advocate for real social change, and the more his voice and vision are exposed—and the film … is a powerful vehicle—the more I’m convinced that others will feel a need to join him on the ramparts.
Bob Avakian is a man living in truth. This man doesn’t blink. Avakian’s talk was so penetrating, convincing and compassionate…. use this talk to deal with the fear factor, the apathy, the propaganda machine, the distraction and dumbing down to the max. Instead, refuse to live on the dark side and be focused on stopping this fascism. Read more
Avakian skillfully weaves together the unique challenge we confront with the very specific brand of American fascism we face with Trump, the white nationalist Christian fascism of Pence, together with a historical context of how we got here—while issuing a very specific call to action now because this is a true worldwide emergency.
Bob Avakian is the only one who has got the guts to say things as they are─that The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go… that this is a nightmare. EVERYONE should see Bob Avakian’s film. Just stop and carefully listen to what he is saying. Listen to his call to action for everyone. And read the books he has written, he says things as they are. Read more
