Episode 66 of The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show

Afghanistan Ravaged by U.S. Imperialism and the Taliban, The Fascist Pandemic, And THE REVOLUTION WE NEED!

 

Afghanistan has been ravaged for 20 years by U.S. imperialist invasion and occupation. The Taliban's seizure of power opens a new chapter of horror, especially for women. Humanity urgently needs—and the new communism provides—another way! Andy Zee brings scientific clarity to these ground-shifting events, including how they enter into this rare time when revolution becomes possible. Sunsara Taylor returns to the fascist COVID-19 pandemic, with mobs flooding school board meetings to oppose masks and vaccines. She draws from street interviews by the RNL Team and a crucial polemic from Bob Avakian taking on the rampant individualism which has become a point of unity between the fascists and too many Black people and other oppressed people, “woke folk,” and so-called progressives. Finally, a look at how a revolutionary society, guided by the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, authored by Bob Avakian, would do far better in the face of a pandemic. Watch, spread, and join this revolution!

In this episode:

* AFGHANISTAN! U.S. imperialist horror or Islamic fundamentalist Taliban nightmare are NOT the only choices. Another way IS possible, through a real revolution and the new communism. Andy Zee exposes how Afghanistan was not the “good war” and the U.S. are not the “good guys.” A powerful segment from Bob Avakian challenges you to break with American chauvinism and “free yourself from the GTF!” (Great Tautological Fallacy). Andy points to the need, and basis, to advance the revolution that can free humanity from this nightmare in these rare and tumultuous times.

* THE FASCIST PANDEMIC! Anti-mask, anti-vaccine mobs descend on school board meetings. Sunsara Taylor exposes these shocktroops of the Republican fascists fighting to impose their white supremacist, misogynist, xenophobic, fascist rule. She draws from Bob Avakian's timely and sharp new piece, “On COVID, The Importance Of Getting People Vaccinated, And The Very Real Problem Regarding Rampant Individualism,” to challenge the rampant individualism that has become a point of unity between the fascists and far too many Black people and other oppressed people, “woke folk” and so-called progressives. Plus, street interviews conducted by the RNL Team.

* THE DIFFERENCE REVOLUTIONARY STATE POWER CAN MAKE! We bring alive how the revolutionary society we are fighting for would handle a pandemic with radically different values, methods, goals and results. Yes, we want state power. We are fighting for the new society laid out in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, authored by Bob Avakian. And you should want to join in fighting for this, too!
