THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE (And Related Questions): INVENTIONS AND DISTORTIONS OF REALITY AND HISTORY—IN THE SERVICE OF REAL AND REPEATED ATROCITY.
In this penetrating series, Avakian shows how the Declaration of Independence “involves inventions and distortions of reality and history, which have been utilized in the service of real and repeated atrocity, and how there is now an urgent need to bring into being a radical, truly emancipating alternative to the system that was inspired by the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago, a system which has now become completely outmoded and poses an existential threat to humanity.” The articles in this three-part series include: Part 1: Profound Inequality, Brutal Oppression—and Crude Distortion of the Actual Foundation and Nature of this Country.

REVOLUTION #120:
Huge numbers of people have stepped forward in the crucial fight against Trump/MAGA fascism. There is an urgent need to make this fight even more powerful—in numbers and in political impact and effect—and that requires clearly and actively opposing the enemy within this fight.This message is reposted from @BobAvakianOfficial at Substack. Follow Bob Avakian on all social media. June 7, 2025 This is Bob Avakian—REVOLUTION—number 120. What is this enemy?

An eager indulgence in snark, gossip, slander, accusation and cancellation (whether the accusation is fabricated or true—something that is effectively irrelevant to those caught up in this). A culture that is defined by a preference for the subjective and […]

REVOLUTION #117
Trump/MAGA fascists—cruel, demented, dark ages oppressors—who twist reality inside-out to “justify” their lawless tyrannyThis message is reposted from @BobAvakianOfficial at Substack. Follow Bob Avakian on all social media. May 23, 2025 This is Bob Avakian—REVOLUTION—number 117. A common feature of fascism, definitely including Trump/MAGA fascism, is that those who are actually in superior positions, those who are enforcing lawless tyrannical rule, strike a ridiculous and outrageous posture as guardians of the law and “protectors” of “victims.” In their crazed racist and misogynist (woman-hating) distortion of reality, according to the Trump/MAGA fascists, it is white people who are discriminated against, men are victimized, and so on. Trump himself plays the “victim,” while he tramples all over the law […]

From Bob Avakian, revolutionary leader, author of the new communism
A Challenge to Katherine StewartDO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE TRUTH ACTUALLY MATTERS, AND THAT INTELLECTUAL INTEGRITY IS IMPORTANT—AND DO YOU RECOGNIZE HOW ENDANGERED THIS IS, THESE DAYS? DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE URGENT IMPORTANCE NOW OF UNITING ALL WHO CAN BE UNITED AGAINST TRUMP/MAGA FASCISM? As someone who found previous writings of yours to be characterized by principled methods and containing valuable insights, particularly in analyzing the dangers posed by right-wing Christian fundamentalists, I was especially dismayed to see that, in your book Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy, you indulge in all-too-familiar and strikingly crude methods in attacking the revolutionary […]
