  • REVOLTING BARBARITY, SHAMELESS HYPOCRISY

    For Those Who Cling to the Myth of “This Great American Democracy”: Some Simple Questions by Bob Avakian April 21, 2020 Can anyone honestly deny the plain truth of the following words boldly spoken by abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass in a July 4th speech in 1852? For revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival. This statement echoes down through time, expressing a profound truth today. If you doubt, or recoil at, this statement, then think about this: After slavery was formally ended through the Civil War, not only were Black people virtually enslaved once again […]

     
  • “BOOMERS”—“X,Y,Z”:
    THE PROBLEM IS NOT “GENERATIONS,”
    IT’S THE SYSTEM

    by Bob Avakian April 27, 2020 It is very common these days to hear things posed in terms of generations, and for generations to be pitted against each other. There are the “boomers” and later “lettered” generations (“X, Y, Z”). There is, on the part of some among these later generations, the dismissive taunt “OK Boomer,” accompanied by an indictment blaming the “boomers” for creating the messed-up world that the younger people are inheriting, including the accelerating climate crisis. And there is the tendency among some “boomers” to be dismayed, or even disgusted, by the phenomenon that younger people seem […]

But the question is now posed more sharply than ever: Is it worth keeping—should any decent person want to keep it? In the present day, the ridiculous and outmoded nature of this republic stands out, and this is all the […]

     
  • CONSPIRACY THEORIES, FASCIST “CERTITUDE,” LIBERAL PARALYSIS, OR
    A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO CHANGING THE WORLD

    (Short Version—The Simple and Basic Truth. Read below.)(Longer Version—The Truth Elaborated. Click here.) by Bob Avakian The coronavirus crisis has brought home very sharply the importance of science—the scientific method and approach to understanding and changing the world. But there is a big problem in how people have been trained and conditioned to think (or not think). While many “liberals” and “progressives” have, for far too long, allowed themselves to become paralyzed by ridiculous notions like “How can you know what is really true, no one can say that their truth is greater than someone else’s truth,” and so on, […]
