John Hedlund, sociology instructor and graduate student
I want to specifically talk about BA’s overall method and approach. As a sociologist (which is a type of social scientist), I find BA’s call for and application of a thorough, rigorous, scientific approach to analyzing both the natural AND (very importantly) the social world to be incredibly inspiring. Simply put, there is no one else who is doing this with the same degree of conviction—of fearlessness, of following the truth wherever it leads you—as BA. In my own work as a researcher, writer and instructor, I consistently try to learn from and emulate BA’s approach: to follow the evidence; […]

January 6 Hearings— And the Violence of This System
by Bob Avakian July 8, 2022 The January 6 hearings into the attempted coup by Trump, in the aftermath of the 2020 election, are important—and it is important that Trump, and his co-conspirators, be held fully accountable, including legally, for this attempted coup.

I have to say that, with that latter work in particular, I found some of the analysis, and the basic concepts, difficult to grasp. That is, at least in large part, because I lack the necessary background not only with regard to the particular questions of theoretical physics addressed in that book, but with regard to theoretical physics more generally. Nevertheless, it proved […]

PRONOUNS AND STARVING CHILDREN
by Bob Avakian June 18, 2022 I have previously pointed to this horrific fact: in the period of slightly more than 75 years since the end of World War 2, because of the way the world is dominated by the system of capitalism-imperialism, at least 350 million children in the Third World have needlessly died because of starvation and preventable disease—a number greater than the entire population of this country!* And this terrible reality of what amounts to mass extermination of children is just one of the truly horrendous atrocities which this system of capitalism-imperialism imposes on humanity. Do you think that any of these children—or their loved […]
