Revolution newspaper/revcom.us, the voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, provides the foundation, guideline, and organizational scaffolding for the whole process of carrying out our strategy for revolution. Through publishing works of Bob Avakian, and through many different articles, interviews, letters, graphics, and other features, revcom.us enables people to really understand, and act to radically change, the world. It exposes why things are the way they are...it reveals why it doesn't have to be this way... it shows how we can act to bring about a real revolution. It is, and has to increasingly become, the scaffolding on which the movement for revolution is built, the means for people to get organizationally linked up to this movement. It is a vehicle through which new people can get a clear sense of the principles, aims, and methods of this revolution, and those who are already involved can wrangle with how to further build this movement for revolution. This newspaper is a guideline where today thousands, but soon tens of thousands and eventually millions, can stay connected and learn to act in a powerful and united way. It sets forth the larger goals of revolution and communism and the ways in which the struggles of today are connected to those larger goals. It enables people to grasp the scientific communist outlook and method, and to better understand the material basis that exists for getting to a radically different and better world.

Under the Radar: Constructing the Gallows of All-Out Fascist Repression in the U.S. The fascist forces led by the Trump/Pence regime are escalating political repression, and laying the legal and ideological groundwork for an unprecedented clampdown on political protest. From threats against the mayor of Oakland to criminalization of political organizing to charges of 'terrorism' and collaboration between fascist organizations and 'law enforcement'--all are extremely serious developments.

An Empire of Exploitation, a World of Misery, and the Revolution Humanity Cries Out For The rulers of the American empire have slaughtered and plundered their way to the top position within the worldwide system of capitalism-imperialism. This is a system of global exploitation driven by the competitive pursuit of profit and more profit and its law of survival: expand or die. It is a system of political and military domination, and of murderous rivalry among the imperialist powers themselves.

LIE #3: The 1917 October Revolution in Russia was a "coup" staged by Lenin and the communists. They were power hungry and grabbed power for themselves. Fact: What made the October 1917 victory possible... what was decisive to building modern history's first society free from exploitation and oppression, was visionary, scientific leadership. That is the crime and example for which the imperialists hold Lenin responsible.

New Nightmare Looming for the Middle East: U.S. and Israel Escalate Threats of War on Iran For the last 16 years, the U.S. and a host of other reactionary forces have bombed, shot, and tortured their way across the greater Middle East. Literally millions of lives have been damaged or destroyed. It's hard to imagine how the situation could get even worse for the people. But that's precisely what's looming right now: escalating U.S.-Israeli threats against Iran, and the real possibility of yet another war.

He denounced charges of collusion with Russia as a hoax and declared: "I have absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department" (which oversees the FBI).

Because socialism-communism goes against human nature, it resorts to state violence and mass killing to enforce its ideals.

These claims are repeated endlessly... and then presented as established, un-debatable fact.

The Importance of Defeating the Supreme Court Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh... and of Doing So On the Right Terms Brett Kavanaugh represents a grave threat to the future of humanity. His nomination to the Supreme Court should be adamantly rejected. He has done great harm throughout his life, and if given the chance to ascend to the Supreme Court he will do far, far worse. Everything known and further coming to light argues that Kavanaugh's ascension to the court would do grave and incalculable harm and must be opposed and STOPPED.

Four Thoughts on the Trump "Tell-All" Book Points about Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury": "Tell-all" books generally focus on gossip and rumor; the book does not break anything new; who would invoke the 25th amendment and what would it accomplish; will the people act in a way that is commensurate with the danger posed by the Trump/Pence fascist regime.

U.S., Britain, France Attack Syria: THIS Is a Crime of Imperialist Monsters! This attack is an outrageous, naked act of imperialist aggression.It's a war crime. And it's an extremely dangerous escalation of the Syrian war, that has the potential to turn into a regional, even global conflagration. EVERYONE should speak out against U.S. aggression and war moves, and join protests taking place this weekend across the country.

Samantha Bee Has NOTHING to Apologize For Samantha Bee: You have nothing to apologize for. We have to DISRUPT THE AIR and Ivanka Trump IS fecklessly normalizing fascism. Learn from Kathy Griffin and withdraw your apology. We have your back.

The Democrats' 'Blue Wave'...of Accommodation and Collaboration The Trump/Pence regime is targeting immigrants as "animals," robbing women of basic reproductive rights, threatening war on Iran, celebrating while Israel massacres Palestinians, and more--all part of hammering into place a vicious, "make America great again" fascist regime. But what are leaders of the Democratic Party actually saying they're going to do?

Another Week in Fascism: Assaults on refugees, the rule of law, voting rights, the environment, and more... While world attention was focused on Trump's trip to Canada, the G-7 meeting, and the summit with Kim Jong-un, the Trump/Pence regime was advancing its agenda and moves to consolidate fascism on many different fronts: banning refugees fleeing gang violence or domestic abuse from seeking asylum, ruling for voter suppression, continued support for white supremacy, attacks on press, whistleblowers, nonviolent protesters and more.

To All Who Care About Humanity: STOP Trying to Win a "Patriotism" Contest with Donald Trump! One of the most disgusting aspects of the "Brennan affair" is the way that it has turned so many liberals and progressives--many of whom are well aware of the long and ugly history of the CIA and the FBI--into slavish and slobbering admirers of these very agencies. These are completely wrong terms for taking on the Trump/Pence fascist regime.

April 1968: The Black Rebellion That Shook America and the World 50 years ago, April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was cut down by an assassin in Memphis. King, at 39, was the foremost leader of the civil-rights movement. While many people looked up to King, others--like the emerging Black Panther Party--were seeking out and advocating more radical, revolutionary solutions. Everyone was profoundly affected by the murder of MLK, and came face-to-face with deep questions.

Some Points of Orientation on Trump's Announcement of Talks with North Korea It is a fundamental outrage that we live in a world where the survival of humanity rests in the hands of someone like Donald Trump; that the people of the Korean peninsula, and humanity, are held hostage to his acts and speech. He has threatened to rain "fire and fury" on North Korea "like the world has never seen before," threatening to "totally destroy" North Korea. What kind of world is this? Who is the real aggressor?

The Second Amendment, the NRA, Police in Schools--Gun Violence and White Supremacy What are the roots of the gun violence that takes so many lives in the U.S.? Is the problem the guns? Why does the NRA seem to have such power and influence? Would putting even more police into schools protect students, or endanger them? Here we focus on three major points: the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the National Rifle Association, and the role of police in schools.

Laquan McDonald and Emmett Till: The REAL Lesson Unless we want to be fighting the same system 64 years from now, unless we want to be defending yet another black youth who has been unjustly cut down by a system that never gave him or her a chance, we need to be preparing right now to rise up in righteous mass resistance against this system if they free Laquan McDonald's killer, and we need to do this as part of politically preparing for revolution.

Supreme Court Legalizes Religious Bigotry, Xenophobia, Fascist Presidential Powers Down with the Muslim Ban! June 26, the US Supreme Court upheld the Trump/Pence regime's openly bigoted, xenophobic Muslim Ban. This decision means that the Trump/Pence regime can now go ahead fully with making it enormously difficult, if not impossible, for people from these targeted countries to emigrate to or seek political asylum in the US, join their families already in the US, get needed medical care, study, or just visit the US as a tourist.

5 Reasons 'The Green New Deal' Is Misleading, Dangerous and Part of the Problem Does the Green New Deal offer a practical and immediate way to solve the crisis of global warming? No! It leaves in place the system of capitalism-imperialism, the very cause of global warming, with its production for profit, its oil/energy corporations, and the U.S. military machine. In fact a radical rupture is required in how what is today the United States interacts with the rest of the world and with the natural world.

A Volatile and Still Highly Dangerous Situation: The U.S. Has No Right to Threaten Korea (and the World) The extremely dangerous situation in which the U.S. had been threatening North Korea with annihilation unless they dismantled their nuclear weapons and submitted to intrusive inspections has temporarily simmered down. At the same time, little is known about what actually was and was not said or settled in the negotiations. The dynamics remain highly volatile and extremely dangerous, and the danger of war has not lessened.

You have the blood of Black people dripping from your jaws and now you want to pose as some kind of savior?

The Fascists Are Moving To Take Away Reproductive Rights...But Where Is The Fight To Defend Them? Forced Motherhood Is Female Enslavement: This is what is at the heart of the struggle over abortion-and birth control-that is sharply posed right now for every female, and for everyone who cares about what kind of world we are going to live in. There is a ferocious fight to make half of humanity be subordinated to the mandates of a system that enshrines patriarchy and domination.
