RACIAL OPPRESSION
CAN BE ENDED—
BUT NOT UNDER THIS SYSTEMby Bob Avakian June 15, 2020 Everywhere we go, and in everything we do, we revcoms boldly put forward: REVOLUTION—NOTHING LESS! This is not just a slogan—though it is a very good and very important slogan. It is the concentrated statement of a very profound truth, which is also captured in our slogan: This System Cannot Be Reformed—It Must Be Overthrown!
