Richard Pryor Routines...or Why Pigs Are Pigs
by Bob Avakian
The role of the police is not to serve and protect the people. It is to serve and protect the system that rules over the people. To enforce the relations of exploitation and oppression, the conditions of poverty, misery and degradation into which the system has cast people and is determined to keep people in. The law and order the police are about, with all of their brutality and murder, is the law and the order that enforces all this oppression and madness.

The whole point of principle is that you have to fight for it when it is not easy to do. There is no need for principle if the only time it is applied is when it doesn’t matter.

A Reader Shares Some Thoughts on the Revolution Clubs and the Slogan "Get Organized for an Actual Revolution"
What IS an Actual Revolution?
An actual revolution is a lot more than a protest. An actual revolution requires that millions of people get involved, in an organized way, in a determined fight to dismantle this state apparatus and system and replace it with a completely different state apparatus and system, a whole different way of organizing society, with completely different objectives and ways of life for the people. Fighting the power today has to help build and develop and organize the fight for the whole thing, for an actual revolution. Otherwise we'll be protesting the same abuses generations from now!

This Must Stop Now!
During a period when New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called on people to not protest police brutality and murder (a call echoed by every media outlet in the country): A prosecutor in Houston and a grand jury in Milwaukee refused to bring charges against police who murdered two Black men. And late last night in Berkeley, MO a police officer killed an 18-year-old Black man. Reports are that hundreds of people responded on the spot in outrage. Also, last night, hundreds of people defied the Mayor and protested police brutality in New York City, and Carl Dix and Travis Morales called for protests on New Year's Eve at a press conference that got wide coverage:

The U.S. government, and U.S. military, is NOT a global force for good; it is a global force that carries out monstrous crimes on a massive scale, all with the aim of maintaining and expanding a global empire of exploitation.
