New: Added Note by Bob Avakian by Bob Avakian Updated June 5, 2023 Editors’ Note (courtesy of revcom.us): The following article was written by Bob Avakian at an earlier stage of the war in Ukraine. Because it remains highly relevant to the situation today, we are featuring it now, with a new Added Note by Bob Avakian at the end of this article, which speaks further to the massive war crimes and crimes against humanity continually committed by U.S. imperialism, and the way this is glorified and celebrated by representatives, functionaries and enforcers of this system, with Barack Obama a notable example. “Go search […]
