In Many Ways Obama Is Worse..."

Announcing: BA Everywhere Through the Holidays and into the New Year...
November 4, 2012
Coming soon... a special Revolution newspaper section on BA Everywhere... Imagine the Difference It Could Make! This will be a crucial tool during the last six weeks of the year through the Thanksgiving-Xmas-New Year's period—in going all out to raise big funds and forge a community of people working together to project Bob Avakian's works and vision into all corners of society.
The American Enterprise—Property and Slavery
Peculiar Notions of "Freedom" and Profound Contradictions
We are reprinting this essay by Bob Avakian on the eve of the elections. It is particularly relevant in injecting some REALITY into the current atmosphere.

What’s NOT Up for Debate in the Presidential Election… And What This Tells You About This System
We’re told the two presidential candidates have laid out very different plans and visions for “where the country needs to go.” But we can learn a lot about the nature of the system that both of these men represent if we look at the things that were NOT up for debate, if we look at the things they agree on.
The Real Difference Between the Republicans and the Democrats
A lot of people feel that say what you want, there is a deep-down philosophical difference between Republicans and Democrats. Well, let’s look at this.

17th Annual National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression, and Criminalization of a Generation
Reports and photos from October 22, when people across the country took to the street to demand a stop to police brutality, repression, and criminalization of a generation.
Trial of STOP "Stop & Frisk" Freedom Fighters Begins
The trial of four freedom fighters in the struggle to STOP "Stop & Frisk"—Carl Dix, Jamel Mims, Morgan Rhodewalt and Bob Parsons—began on October 23 in New York City. The racist NYPD policy of stop-and-frisk—that stops hundreds of thousands of people every year, especially Black and Latino youth—is totally illegitimate. What is being put on trial here is nothing less than the ability and right to stand up to this and say NO MORE.
The essence of what exists in the U.S. is not democracy but capitalism-imperialism and political structures to enforce that capitalism-imperialism. What the U.S. spreads around the world is not democracy, but imperialism and political structures to enforce that imperialism.

The Critical Importance of Leadership
I recently went back over the interview with BA… I started this particular reading of the interview with an intention to deepen my grasp of its sweep and depth "in its own right." But as I read, I was struck by its direct relevance to some particular problems that the movement for revolution (and those working to lead it forward) confront right now.

Spitting Out My Coffee While Reading the New York Times Liberal White-(Supremacist)-Wash
I open the pages of the Sunday New York Times about two weeks ago to find this remarkable sentence:
“In the early 19th century, the United States was one of the most egalitarian societies on the planet.”

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, together with his daughter Sarah Burns and her husband, David McMahon, have made and are about to release The Central Park Five, their movie about the New York Police Department (NYPD) railroad of five Black youth in 1989-90, which was one of the most shocking instances of racist injustice in the long and ugly history of this country.
