WEAPONS OF OPPRESSION,
AND THE HEART TO FIGHT TO END OPPRESSIONby Bob Avakian June 8, 2021 This system has two big weapons it uses to maintain masses of people in a situation where they are oppressed, brutalized, degraded, and demoralized. The first weapon is the murderous armed force of this system—which, along with all its other atrocities, continually hunts down and kills Black, Brown, and Native American people in the most depraved ways. The second weapon is the way this system messes people up and gets them thinking and acting in messed up ways—and especially how this system denies the youth a decent future, forcibly confines so many in miserable conditions and gets them caught up in fighting and killing […]

In the face of this massacre, and everything it was part of and concentrated, how many of these politicians did not continue proclaiming: “This is the greatest country in […]

THE RACIST TULSA MASSACRE—
THE MOST PROFOUND LESSONby Bob Avakian June 1, 2021 This year is the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre in 1921, in which armed mobs of racist white people, including many police, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, slaughtered hundreds of Black people, terrorized thousands, and burned down a thriving Black community, with its churches, hospitals, homes, schools, libraries, and businesses. And this kind of murderous oppression is still going on, in many horrific ways, under the rule of this system—in this country and worldwide. CASE CLOSED. This system, from the start, and right down to today, is guilty of the most atrocious crimes against humanity. It […]
