  • WORLD WAR 3
    AND DANGEROUS IDIOCY

    by Bob Avakian April 28, 2022 In a number of recent writings, especially a major recent article (“Ukraine: World War 3 Is the Real Danger, Not a Repeat of World War 2”), I have spoken to lies and distortions about the war in Ukraine—particularly those that serve the aims of the rulers of this imperialist country in the war in Ukraine—and how these lies and distortions contribute to heightening the danger of World War 3, involving direct military confrontation between the U.S./NATO and Russia and the likely use of nuclear weapons in such a confrontation, with potentially devastating consequences, even the real possibility of the destruction of […]

     

  • UKRAINE: WORLD WAR 3
    IS THE REAL DANGER,
    NOT A REPEAT OF WORLD WAR 2

    by Bob Avakian April 22, 2022 In unity with, and as further explanation of the importance of, the call at revcom.us for marches and rallies in Los Angeles and New York, on May First, with these crucial slogans: NO US/NATO WAR WITH RUSSIA!

But in the context of the war in Ukraine, Penn seems to have lost his mind and gone to a very bad place—descending into what can only be described as dangerous madness—vehemently arguing for a more aggressive U.S. role in the war in Ukraine. This has also been marked by Penn’s delirious worship of Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, who has acted in a way that itself heightens very grave dangers for humanity. In response to the unjust […]

     

  • Short Version—The Basic Truth:
    “LEGIT GANGSTERS”— GANGSTERS WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS

    by Bob Avakian April 19, 2022 See also: Longer Version—The Fuller Picture:“LEGIT GANGSTERS”—GANGSTERS WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONSby Bob Avakian The events of today, and in particular the events relating to the war in Ukraine, bring back again memories of a friend of mine from back in the day, Billy Carr. Billy got caught up in “the life” and ended up being killed as a result, while he was still in his 20s. But he had a sharp mind, and one time, when I described what the imperialists who rule this country were doing, not just to people here but all around […]
