  • Fascists and Communists: Completely Opposed and Worlds Apart

    by Bob Avakian July 22, 2019 Fascists stand for and are determined to intensify, to grotesque and hideous dimensions, every dimension of oppression and exploitation and all the horrors perpetrated by the system of capitalism-imperialism. Communists, and in particular the advocates of the new communism, are determined to put an end to all these horrors, and potentially even worse horrors, through the overthrow of the system of capitalism-imperialism and the abolition of all relations of exploitation and oppression, throughout the world. Look at the 5 STOPS—fascists and communists, and in particular the advocates of the new communism, are on diametrically opposed […]

     

  • Shameless American Chauvinism: “Anti-Authoritarianism” as a “Cover” For Supporting U.S. Imperialism

    New: Added Note by Bob Avakian by Bob Avakian Updated June 5, 2023 Editors’ Note (courtesy of revcom.us): The following article was written by Bob Avakian at an earlier stage of the war in Ukraine.

It is readily refuted by the actual reality of what we are all about. It is also highly irresponsible—all the more so in the extremely intense and continually intensifying situation in today’s […]

     

  • Bob Avakian on What Motivates My Works And How This Relates to Basic Objectives, Methods and Principles

    February 14, 2022 In a conversation I had some time ago with a spoken word artist, he raised the question of how to go about creating a great work. I responded that I don’t set out to produce great works, but to meet great needs. Since, with this orientation and objective, I continue to “churn out” articles, on top of more major works—and particularly now “Something Terrible, Or Something Truly Emancipating”1—and accordingly the website revcom.us is full of works of mine , I feel moved to respond to the following from a student who raised this criticism: Everything flows down from Avakian; […]
