The screening of this hour-long talk from Bob Avakian will be followed by a panel discussion with:

Andy Zee, spokesperson for Revolution Books, NYC, co-initiator of RefuseFascism.org
Juan Gómez-Quiñones, Professor of History, UCLA, and others to be announced

How serious a threat does the Trump/Pence regime pose to humanity? Could fascism really happen here?

What is the character of the regime—is it fascist, and if it is, what are the implications?

What are the roots of this regime? Is it a terrible aberration, "more of the same'' ... or something quite different still?

What must be done to stop it? How?

Is a better world possible?

 

Comments About the Film

"Avakian skillfully weaves together the unique challenge we confront with the very specific brand of American fascism ... the white nationalist Christian fascism of Pence, together with a historical context of how we got here—while issuing a very specific call to action now because this is a true worldwide emergency."

—Matthew Shipp, Musician and composer

" ... more important than a wake-up call, it's a call to action ... so we can fight, resist, organize, mobilize against this fascist regime that we have. in the U.S."

—Father Luis Barrios

... Bob Avakian is a compelling advocate for real social change, and the more his voice and vision are exposed—and this film ... is a powerful vehicle—the more I'm convinced that others will feel a need to join him on the ramparts."

—Herb Boyd, Author, journalist and activist
