6 points from The Revcom Corps For The Emancipation Of Humanity

1. The U.S. government is waging an illegal war of aggression, murdering civilians on fishing boats with no due process and now attacking Venezuela and kidnapping the president! Illegal according to domestic law, because they didn’t seek approval from Congress. And illegal according to international law, because it is an unprovoked attack against a sovereign country. Their justifications (“narcoterrorism,” “they stole our oil,” etc.) are blatant lies. Those of us living in the U.S., the belly of the beast, have a special responsibility to STOP the crimes of “our” government.
2. What the fascist trump regime is doing to Venezuela is a continuation of the long history of U.S. domination of Latin America, and it is a dangerous leap to an even more aggressive and undisguised form of rule, based on raw destructive power without even the pretense of concern for the rule of law. Trump talks about “owning” Greenland,” “running” Venezuela, and “taking” the oil. He threatens military attacks on Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Iran and others. He labels anti-fascists as “domestic terrorists” and threatens to kill congresspeople who remind troops of their duty to disobey illegal orders. This is fascism: extreme repression against the masses of people, and even against rivals within the ruling class. It must be defeated before it fully consolidates. Trump must go now!
3. Now is the time to confront the ugly truth about the U.S. and its role in the world. When was America great? NEVER! Not at its founding in slavery and genocide. And not during the last 100+ years when it has been an imperialist power, murdering, raping, and plundering all over the globe. The U.S. has never been a force for good in the world. Don’t believe us? Read this.
4. The system responsible for these crimes is capitalism-imperialism. Capitalism is a system based on exploitation and driven by competition. Imperialism is when that system spreads its tentacles throughout the world, with a small number of rich countries super-exploiting people in poor countries and competing with each other for world domination. This leads to war and destruction on a massive scale. Since World War 2 the U.S. has been #1 imperialist predator, but now is facing growing challenges from Russia and China (China is now the main trading partner in South America and buys 80% of Venezuela’s oil).
5. We don’t have to live this way! In the world today we have the wealth and technology to meet the material and cultural needs of everyone on the planet. But under the current system that wealth and technology is owned by a tiny class of capitalist exploiters and enforced by police and militaries. With a real revolution that breaks the stranglehold of these oppressors over society, we could begin to use these resources for the benefit of humanity, to overcome global inequalities and address the environmental crisis. As one expression of this, the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, written by Bob Avakian, clearly states that the new socialist government will dismantle the vast network of U.S. imperialist military bases throughout the world and renounce all wars of aggression and occupation. Lift your sights! Read & spread this.

6. This is a rare time when revolution is more possible. As the fascist Trump regime rips up the old norms that people have been conditioned to accept, this is beginning to cause all kinds of chaos and force people to question the way things have been, and whether they have to stay that way. In this situation, the forces for the revolution could grow, quickly, from small numbers to thousands, and then millions, and get in position to go for the whole thing. Now’s the time to learn about and join the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity.

“We, the people of the world, can no longer afford to allow these imperialists to continue to dominate the world and determine the destiny of humanity. They need to be overthrown as quickly as possible. And it is a scientific fact that we do not have to live this way.”
