December 14 – 40th Anniversary of the Release of London Calling by The Clash

London calling, and I don’t mean to shout
But when we were talking I saw you nodding out...
From a reader:
The other morning, thinking about the situation in which “the worst are full of passionate intensity and the best lack all conviction,” these lines from London Calling by the Clash ran through my head:
London calling, and I don’t mean to shout
But when we were talking I saw you nodding out...
I sent this rhyme to a friend as part of a longer email ranting about the outrageous complicity with the Trump/Pence regime by people who should know better.... only to find out from her later that this weekend marks the 40th anniversary of the release of that classic album. Now I don't believe that this was "the universe talking to me"... but goddamn we could use bands that today have the impact that the Clash did then!

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
