From Osyan:

It’s Your Turn!

Revcom.us editors’ note: This is a statement from Osyan (which means “rebellion” in the Farsi language)—a group of Iranian and Afghan women—which was posted on March 3.

Imperialism is not just a big word reserved for books, leftist circles, and intellectual debates—not for us, the people of Iran. Today, imperialism has become a bomb, and it has landed on us in a thousand corners of our own home. If until yesterday it was hidden from many eyes in the labyrinth of economics and politics, today its reality has emerged from under the rubble—like the hands of the children of Minab.

Today, our home has become the stage for the display of the raw imperial power of the United States. A place where it must prove to the world that nothing is capable of standing against it. The experiment that was “successfully” carried out on Gaza is now being implemented in our home and on our friends and loved ones. If until yesterday this system dominated us through the Islamic Republic, today it has placed its foot directly on our lives and our future.

Today is a moment to honestly challenge our illusions and false hopes of finding any salvation within this system, and to reclaim our future—alongside all those who share our fate across the world—from the madmen armed with nuclear bombs who are determined to preserve this system at the cost of our destruction.

Today is the time for a struggle deeper and wider than ever before—against an order that long ago reached its expiration date, and that from here on has nothing left to offer except greater horrors.

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!

DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!
