ON STATUES, MONUMENTS,
AND CELEBRATING—OR
ENDING—OPPRESSIONby Bob Avakian One of the significant trends associated with the upsurge sparked by the sickening murder of George Floyd has been the targeting of statues and monuments honoring a number of historical figures and events.

RACIAL OPPRESSION
CAN BE ENDED—
BUT NOT UNDER THIS SYSTEMby Bob Avakian June 15, 2020 Everywhere we go, and in everything we do, we revcoms boldly put forward: REVOLUTION—NOTHING LESS! This is not just a slogan—though it is a very good and very important slogan. It is the concentrated statement of a very profound truth, which is also captured in our slogan: This System Cannot Be Reformed—It Must Be Overthrown! But what do we mean in saying that this system cannot be reformed, and why is that true? In Why We Need An Actual Revolution And How We Can Really Make Revolution, I speak to the “5 STOPS”—deep and […]
