“‘Two Countries’ Within This Country—And The Whole Damn System’s Got to Go!” is the title of the new message from Bob Avakian (BA). BA issued this message two days after the fascist Trump was—for the second time—elected president.
Bob Avakian goes on to say in the message’s subtitle:
This is not a time for demoralization and despair—it is a time for righteous anger and revolutionary determination.
This message from Bob Avakian cuts like a knife of light through the gloom and doom that haunts the decent people who can’t stand Trump and everything he stands for. This message from Bob Avakian digs people out of the avalanche of numbing bullshit pouring out from commentators and politicians who are explaining this horror in totally upside-down ways, keeping people trapped within the terms of the very system that spawned this fascism. This message from BA is the leadership people need and the leadership they are hungry for—whether they know it now or not—to break out of the mental chains.
This message from Bob Avakian needs to get out—NOW—everywhere.
People need to see the poster for this up everywhere they go, so that the first or the fifth or the fifteenth time that they see the title, they go listen to the message. Just having the title up all over puts a whole different way of seeing this into the atmosphere. It sets whole different terms for people very broadly.
People need a chance to listen to Bob Avakian deliver the message in his own voice, out in public and then on their own phones or computers. They need to get this in their hands and read it. And they need to get hooked up to following @BobAvakianOfficial so that they become part of a whole network of people all over the country, and world, who’ve got their hands on this lifeline.
People need a chance to talk about this message from Bob Avakian, in public programs and zooms, in meetings pulled together on the spot on campuses or neighborhood parks, in downtown gathering places or coffee shops. This message needs to get to where people live, to the point where it is being discussed in meetings of groups trying to make positive change or just understand what’s going on, in church basements, living rooms, and barber shops.
People need to be given a way to help get this message from Bob Avakian out further, by donating meaningful amounts and taking part in organized fund drives with others. And by taking part in the National Campaign to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Everywhere. A social media ad campaign can bring this message to millions and can also serve as a doorway into the whole range of social media messages that BA regularly puts out… so that this one message serves as a lifeline to the millions now trapped in despair or dead ends.
People need to be given a way to get organized—to take part in spreading this message, working with THE REVCOM CORPS For The Emancipation Of Humanity, learning more as they get out the word.
People need to be able to see, get in their hands, and read the real alternative that Bob Avakian talks about in his message, the broadsheet WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A RADICALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM, and people need a chance to discuss this, too—and to get deeply into it, and spread it themselves so that this becomes what people are demanding and willing to fight for in opposition to a fascist America.
All this depends on YOU who are reading this. Take up this call—with imagination, initiative, daring and determination. Strike while the iron is hot, before people have adjusted to an even more horrific “new normal,” while they are still agonizing over why this has happened and what we can do.
¡Ánimo!
