In The Name of Humanity,
We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America
A Better World IS Possible

A Film of a Talk by Bob Avakian

What If People Had Listened?

This talk was given in 2017, during the first Trump fascist regime, and it is all the more crucial now, with what Bob Avakian has referred to as the “second coming” of the Trump regime and this fascism now “on an unrestrained rampage.”

The text of this talk can be found here.

The film was produced by The BA Institute and Revolution Books Educational Fund.
