Discussion: This Is A Rare Time When Revolution Becomes Possible
Friday, July 31st, 7 p.m.
Join us for a discussion on these questions:
Is a revolution possible in the USA?
What kind of revolution will actually emancipate humanity?
What are the 3 conditions needed for a real revolution?
As explained in “This Is A Rare Time When Revolution Becomes Possible” from Humanity on the Brink by Bob Avakian:
"A revolution becomes possible, even in a powerful country like this, when three main factors have been brought into being:
"A crisis in society and government so deep and so disruptive of the “usual way of doing things,” that those who have ruled over us, for so long, can no longer do so in the “normal” way that people have been conditioned to accept.
A revolutionary people in the millions and millions, with their “allegiance” to this system broken, and their determination to fight for a more just society greater than their fear of the violent repression of this system.
"An organized revolutionary force—made up of continually growing numbers of people, from among the most oppressed but also from many other parts of society—a force which is grounded in, and is working systematically to apply, the most scientific approach to building for and then carrying out revolution, and which is increasingly looked to by masses of people to lead them to bring about the radical change that is urgently needed.
"These factors for revolution, as a whole, clearly do not exist right now—but, again, this is one of those rare times when these factors for revolution could be brought into being.
"Without being mechanical about this, there is a definite importance to understanding, in a living way, the role of these three conditions—and their ongoing interconnection, or dialectical relation as we would say—in relation to the possibility of revolution. The first condition essentially exists now, and this situation is continually intensifying—particularly through the accelerating juggernaut of the Trump fascist regime."
We will watch and discuss this video of Rafael Kadaris from the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity speaking about the 3 Conditions for Revolution.
Democratic Socialism vs. Revolutionary Communism (Based on the new communism developed by Bob Avakian) Come hear Rafael Kadaris:
Thursday, August 27th, 6 p.m.
★ Why the root of the problem is deeper than greedy billionaires.
★ Why we need to break the chains of imperialism, NOT redistribute the spoils of imperialist plunder.
★ Why U.S. “democracy” is actually the dictatorship of the capitalist class and why trying to take over the Democratic Party is a dead end.
★ Why the strategy of economic populism will not stop Trump/MAGA fascism.
★ Why you should NOT follow leaders based on identity, or what's popular, or what feels good—but whether they have a solution to the fundamental problem we face.
★ Why this system can't be reformed & must be overthrown.
