PENCE DEFENDS TRUMP’S RACISM
by Bob Avakian Recently, in the debate with Kamala Harris, vice president and Trump right-hand-man Mike Pence came up with a ridiculous reply when it was brought out, once again, that Trump has openly supported and encouraged white supremacists. Speaking about Charlottesville, Virginia—where, in 2017, white supremacists attacked anti-racist protesters and killed one of them, Heather Heyer—Trump referred to these white supremacists as “very fine people.” And what has been the defense of this by some Trumpites, including Mike Pence? They say that Trump was not talking about NAZIs and the KKK but only those people who were there, in […]

THE ACUTE FASCIST DANGER— RISING ABOVE PETTY “LEFTISM,”
ACTING IN THE INTERESTS OF HUMANITYBasic Questions, Existential Stakes by Bob Avakian Do any of the bourgeois politicians, of either the Democratic or Republican Party, represent anything good?

But, along with their genocidal racism, there is also another very important parallel between Jackson […]

SLEEPWALKING “WOKENESS” AND THE TRUMP/PENCE NIGHTMARE
by Bob Avakian “If fascism fully takes hold in the most powerful country in the world, this could lead to a catastrophe from which humanity may not be able to recover.” (This Is the Situation, These Are the Stakes)1 Far too many people who claim to care about injustice and the destruction of the environment, and say they are working for a better world, still come up with ridiculous rationalizations for not recognizing—and not acting in the way necessary to oppose—the fascism of the Trump/Pence regime, and the very real and terrible danger it poses. Here I am going to […]
