New Talk by Bob Avakian
The Problem, the Solution, and the Challenges Before Us
The following is an important talk given by Bob Avakian earlier this summer.
In light of Donald Trump’s continual invocation of patriotism, “heritage,” respect for the flag, and all that other stuff, and the way in which this whole regime echoes him... and in light of the huge controversy over those questions in society right now... we urge our readers to check out, and spread, the following excerpts from Bob Avakian’s new talk “The Problem, the Solution, and the Challenges Before Us.”
From Part 1: Breaking with American Chauvinism and the Killing Confines of Capitalism
From Part 3: The Solution, the Necessity, the Possibility and the Desirability of Revolution Grounded in The New Communism

Questions and answers on getting organized for an actual revolution
Question: Who can join the Revolutionary Communist Party?
Question: Why do we not initiate violence during this period when we are carrying out the “three prepares”—why do we not just “get it on,” and try to bring down this system, right now?
Question: Aren’t Ferguson and Baltimore examples of the people initiating violence?

BA Speaks:
REVOLUTION—NOTHING LESS!
Bob Avakian Live
In the fall of 2012, Bob Avakian gave a series of talks in different cities. This is a film of one of those talks.
Those this system has cast off, those it has treated as less than human, can be the backbone and driving force of a fight not only to end their own oppression, but to finally end all oppression, and emancipate all of humanity.
- Bob Avakian, from the film

WWW.REVCOM.US/REVOLUTION NEWSPAPER brings alive a scientific analysis of major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how different events and developments relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie in relation to all this, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this and what the goals of that revolution are, how different viewpoints and programs relate, positively or negatively, to the revolution that is needed, and how people can move, and are moving, to build toward that revolution. Revcom.us/Revolution is the guide, the pivot, the crucial tool in drawing forward, orienting, training, and organizing thousands, and influencing millions—fighting the power, and transforming the people, for revolution—hastening and preparing for the time when we can go for the whole thing, with a real chance to win.
