  • GOD, PREJUDICE, OPPRESSION, TERROR
    AND THE WAY OUT OF THIS MADNESS

    Oppressed people who are unable or unwilling to confront reality as it actually is, are condemned to remain enslaved and oppressed. by Bob Avakian July 24, 2023 Recently, a report on carrying out revolutionary work in Harlem referred to the fact that some people there were coming out with a lot of “Anti-LGBTQ bullshit”—like “god gave men a penis and women a vagina, so that’s how it should be.” It is heartbreaking, and infuriating, to hear this “Anti-LGBTQ bullshit” from people, like those in Harlem quoted above, who have been so terribly oppressed under this system and should be uniting with others […]

     

  • SUPREME COURT: CHRISTIAN FASCISTS STEALING IN THE NAME OF THE LORD

  • About Bill Maher—
    A Further Observation on American Chauvinism And Parasitic Individualism

    by Bob Avakian July 17, 2023 As part of the overall challenges I have issued to people to face up to the real nature and history of this country, and the system that rules in this country and dominates the world—the system of capitalism-imperialism—I issued this challenge to Bill Maher: HEY, BILL MAHER—HERE’S A “POLITICALLY INCORRECT” TRUTH THAT CAN’T BE “CANCELLED”: AMERICA IS NOT, AND NEVER HAS BEEN, GREAT—EXCEPT IN ONE WAY—IT IS THE WORLD’S GREATEST OPPRESSOR AND DESTROYER OF THE ENVIRONMENT Do You Dare to Take Up the Challenge of Trying to Refute This?* But, in the time since this […]
