  • IT’S NOT “THE DEMOCRATS”—
    IT’S THE WHOLE SYSTEM!

    An Answer to Candace Owens and Other Black NAZI Demagogues by Bob Avakian June 15, 2020 Candace Owens, and other Black “conservatives” who support the white supremacist fascist Donald Trump, try to justify their contemptible actions by claiming that it is the Democratic Party that is responsible for keeping Black people in a subordinated position. As I have spoken to and concretely illustrated many times, the Democratic Party does play an important part in the subjugation and degradation of Black people, including the way in which masses of Black people, and in particular youth, are robbed of a decent future, […]

     

  • DON LEMON, MARTIN LUTHER KING
    AND THE REVOLUTION WE NEED

    by Bob Avakian June 15, 2020 Recently, CNN host Don Lemon spoke about reading again Martin Luther King’s 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech.

    THE SUFFOCATION OF SEVEN BILLION
    —AND THE PROFOUND NEED FOR A WORLD ON NEW FOUNDATIONS

    by Bob Avakian The rulers of this country, and those who represent their interests, are forever boasting about the supposed “freedom, initiative and creativity” that, according to them, the capitalist system (and only the capitalist system) makes possible, and the great wealth this has created for people in this country especially. And they continually slander communism as a repressive system where people have no freedom and their initiative and creativity is not encouraged and rewarded but stifled and suppressed. All this is fundamentally wrong and completely upside-down. First of all, the wealth that these people boast about is extremely unevenly […]

     

  • POLICE AND PRISONS:
    REFORMIST ILLUSIONS
    AND THE REVOLUTIONARY SOLUTION

    by Bob Avakian July 20, 2020 In the course of the beautiful uprising against institutionalized white supremacy and police terror, the notion of “defunding,” or even “dismantling,” the police—replacing the existing police with a different kind of force, and accompanying this with a focus on meeting the social needs of the people who are now the main target of police violence—has been put forward as a “solution.” But does this idea of changing institutions and shifting priorities and funding, within this same system, really represent a way to put an end to police brutality and murder, and at the same […]
