Bob Avakian Responds to a Basic Youth
“Common Sense” Is Often Wrong
A Scientific Approach Shows Revolution Is Possible, Especially In This “Rare Time”January 4, 2023 “It’s just common sense that you can’t go up against this system and overthrow it”—so said a basic youth at a high school, in response to the call to get with the revolution.

Bob Avakian Issues a 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? September 2, 2021 Lately, Bill Maher has been devoting a lot of attention to going after what he sees as the harm done by “cancel culture.” He has made a few good points, and some very bad ones, not getting to the heart of what is the actual problem with “cancel culture” and how this should […]
