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.
SHARE Tuesday, August 21, 2018 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.
SHARE Monday, April 2, 2018 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.
SHARE Sunday, March 11, 2018 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?
SHARE Wednesday, April 4, 2018 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.
SHARE Thursday, September 27, 2018 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.
SHARE Wednesday, June 27, 2018 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.
SHARE Sunday, May 13, 2018 May 13, 1985: The MOVE Massacre--An American Crime
5:35 am, May 13, 1985. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Gregore Sambor aims his bullhorn at the house at 6221 Osage Avenue and declares: "Attention MOVE! This is America." 7 adults and 6 children, members of the MOVE organization, were in their home. 15 minutes later, the police assault began. By the end, 5 children ages 9 to 14 and 6 adults were murdered by the police, their bodies mostly in pieces. 61 homes were burned.
SHARE Sunday, May 5, 2019 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.

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.
SHARE Wednesday, April 3, 2019 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.
