PHILOSOPHY AND REVOLUTION
Part 1: Objective reality and truth, in opposition to paltry yet poisonous opportunism—perversions of communist theory in the name of proletarian/communist revolution
and
Part 2: More on Marxist “reflection theory,” the importance of communism as a scientific approach to understanding and transforming reality—and refutation of opportunist attacks on this by phony “communists”
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “TOTALITARIANISM”
“Totalitarianism” is a thoroughly unscientific—or, really, anti-scientific—“theory” concocted and promoted by intellectual apologists of this system of capitalism-imperialism.

FSM Reflections On Becoming a Revolutionary
Introduction: From Bob Avakian—Regarding My Statement of November 17, 1996, “FSM Reflections”: Although, in the nearly 30 years since I made this statement, I have continued the work that has led to the development of the new communism, as a whole new framework for human emancipation, this statement “FSM Reflections,” in November, 1996, contains essential elements of the new communism.
