From a Prisoner:
Using Bob Avakian's New Year's Statement to Educate Other Prisoners
| revcom.us
Revolutionary Greetings Comrades.
I am writing to notify you that I have received the New Year’s statement from you. Thank you for sending me a copy. While we remain on lockdown, except for work, we have begun to pass it around to those we can; and to discuss its contents while on our lunchbreak at work.
The statement itself has become an instrument we are using to educate individuals. It has proven to be very enlightening to some. Recently I gave it to a “Progressive” friend that I have engaged with for a couple months now about why progressive ideals are dangerous, and why communist revolution guided by the new synthesis is the only real option. After reading the pamphlet, this friend decided to write to PRLF! He was a political writer and has worked on democratic campaigns. After reading the New Year’s statement, he has embraced the struggle!!
What I have found to be most importantly highlighted in the statement is the topic of how there can be no “reconciliation”. I have continuously stressed to people that one of the key reasons why revolution is required is that it is impossible to work within the system to change the system. A key factor in this issue is that both republicans and democrats are agents of the Capitalist-imperialist Structure, and irregardless of words, they do not truly wish reconciliation. And even should they want it, reconciliation is impossible within the system. Those who truly want change can only find it in the new synthesis of communism, and only after a revolution guided by this political line!
All of the study group comrades here appreciate you for sending us materials.
In struggle,
XXX

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.
