“DON’T WORRY ABOUT A NUCLEAR WAR— IF THERE IS ONE, RUSSIA WILL LOSE!”
The Dangerous Demagoguery of Timothy Snyder On Behalf of U.S. Imperialism and Its Proxy War in Ukraine by Bob Avakian May 22, 2023 Recently, the New York Times (Sunday, May 14, 2023) published an article by Timothy Snyder, a professor of history at Yale University.

There is a very sharp conflict now within this country over whether the history of slavery can even be talked about in any real way, with white supremacist fascists attacking and attempting to prevent any serious discussion of this, and especially its actual horrors, with public education a particular focus of this conflict.

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. Yes, that is “common sense.” But “common sense” is often wrong—and it is wrong here too. “Common sense” is what most people believe at a given time (and what seems to be true on the surface, without digging deeper). For a long time in human history, it was “common sense”—most people believed—that the earth doesn’t move and it is the sun that moves in […]
