A medical professional, after reading Sunsara Taylor’s rebuttal to the hit-piece by Robert Mackey at the Intercept
When I checked this morning, the Intercept still had the original story [attacking Rise Up and the Revcoms] featured prominently (middle of the page, one of the top stories in the “politics” section) without a printed rebuttal. The article by Sunsara was very well constructed. Detailing the complete lack of journalistic integrity, both by Mackey and by editorial staff, is important. Illustrating the trumpian methods of “argument” he employed to extremely dangerous ends, here directed by “progressive” journalists against some of the only organized forces that mobilized protest and resistance. Continuing to press for the Intercept to publish the rebuttal should […]

From Brother B In The Streets, Educator, California
Bob Avakian a “cult” leader. I’ve heard this kind of talk for a long time, and each time it comes up what do these forces who spread this accusation reveal about themselves: no engagement… absolutely no serious engagement with anything Bob Avakian has written.

Jim Fouratt, gay rights activist who participated in the Stonewall Rebellion, actor, and former nightclub impresario
As a senior, I’m a contemporary of Bob Avakian. I was in San Francisco at the time of the Black Panther Party. I remember the white people that stood up and supported the Black Panther Party and their programs. Bob Avakian was a young man and he was there. So I know of Bob Avakian for a very long time. I also was the first gay person to be allowed to speak at a left rally, it was at Yale in support of Bobby Seale. Although we were put on last, it was the first time that an openly gay […]
