During the month of November, be a part of getting out this quote from BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian all around the country:
There is nothing more unrealistic than the idea of reforming this system into something that would come anywhere near being in the interests of the great majority of people and ultimately of humanity as a whole.
—BAsics 3:2
No matter who wins the presidential election, the people in the U.S. and around the world lose—and BAsics 3:2 points sharply to why.
What happens when you are part of distributing BAsics 3:2:
- You raise people’s sights on a critical question and expand their horizons—both enabling and compelling people to confront the reality about this system of capitalism-imperialism. This is part of fighting the power and transforming what people are thinking about and debating with each other.
- You introduce people to Bob Avakian—the leader who has developed a way out of all the madness crushing people and weighing down on them here and around the world. Through BA’s words, people begin to learn about this leader who has developed the scientific theory and strategic orientation for how to actually make the kind of revolution we need, and who is leading the Revolutionary Communist Party as an advanced force of this revolution. BA is a great champion and resource of the oppressed worldwide, and his leadership means that millions and millions of people can rise to their full potential and play the world-historic role of being emancipators of humanity.
- You give encouragement to others who are taking up or checking out BA and this revolution. Too often people who are daring to lift their heads and dream and fight for a better world run into cynicism and the millions of supposed reasons why “fundamental change is not possible.” When they see the BAsics quotes around, they start to know they are not alone. And others who may dismiss the quotes the first or second or even the third, fourth, or fifth time will keep on seeing them in a way that gives them more than one chance to lift their heads and join in. The more that people see not only the words and leadership of BA, but also signs that others are taking this up, the more seriously they take all this, and the more they are willing to let themselves consider that maybe there is a way out of the horrors—the more they feel compelled to engage and to take responsibility for being “part of the solution.”
- You join with others to have a much greater impact than anyone can on their own. Acting as individuals, there is no way we can change the conditions of our enslavement. But with leadership, and acting together with thousands of others, even small things that people do can be part of having a huge impact on the political and ideological terrain throughout the country, and part of how the thousands today learn and build up their capacity and grow in their numbers to do even more.
Take stacks of 10, 50, 100 or more BAsics quote palm cards, and get them out at housing projects, laundromats, community centers, schools, and wherever there are people. Be a part of the major campaign, involving people around the country in many different ways, to project BA’s vision, voice, and works to every corner of society and to raise big funds to do so: BA Everywhere... Imagine the Difference It Could Make!
