For Nicki “Mirage” and Others Doing Real Harm: Some Straight-Up Scientific Truth
From Bob Avakian
Discouraging People from Getting Vaccines Keeps the COVID Pandemic Going and Killing More People—Especially More Black PeopleSeptember 22, 2021 Here are some critically important basic scientific facts: *Over six hundred thousand (600,000) people have died from COVID, just in the U.S. (more than 4 million worldwide). * Black people have died from COVID at a higher rate than others in the U.S. * The vaccines are very effective against serious illness and death. Today, more than 90 percent of the people seriously ill and dying from COVID have not had vaccines (are unvaccinated). * The vaccines are very safe. Tens of millions of people have gotten the vaccines in this country, overwhelmingly without any serious negative “side effects.” * Hospitals around the country are strained to the […]

Imperialism—What It Is, What It Is Not—and the Democratic Party as an Institution of This Capitalist-Imperialist System
Excerpts from unpublished correspondence from Bob Avakian September 21, 2020 I want to emphasize that in speaking of “imperialism,” what is meant is not the concept of old-line colonialism and outright possession (or occupation) of other people’s territories (though that still does happen with modern-day imperialism). Nor is the essence of this being a “war-monger” (or “hawk”), although again being an actual representative of the imperialist system does require employing and supporting the threat, and actual use, of warfare. The essence of what is meant (by “imperialism” and “imperialist”) is the scientific analysis of imperialism as the development of the capitalist […]
