A SERIOUS FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE—
NOT A PETTY HUSTLE FOR “OWNERSHIP”by Bob Avakian June 18, 2022 Today, there are some people and groups that identify as “progressive” or “woke” but have become so influenced by capitalist notions of property relations that they actually believe that they “own” the fight against injustice and the public spaces, and even whole cities and areas, where this fight needs to be waged. This has come up, for example, in the fight waged by RiseUp4Abortion Rights.org to prevent the fascist majority on the Supreme Court from ripping away the right to abortion by overturning Roe v.

THE WAR IN UKRAINE
AND THE INTERESTS OF HUMANITY:
A SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH VS. HARMFUL CONFUSION AND CHAUVINIST DELUSIONBob Avakian RespondsTo People Who Should Know Better (and Maybe Once Did) May 9, 2022 Recently, the article of mine “Ukraine: World War 3 Is the Real Danger, Not a Repeat of World War 2” was sent to a number of former members of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), which developed into a major radical movement during the 1960s that strongly opposed the U.S. imperialist war in Vietnam. In response, several people raised arguments in opposition to my article—arguments which reflect the thinking today of all too many people in this country with “liberal,” “progressive” and “social democratic” views.1 While […]
