Watch Raymond Lotta on YouTube speaking on

“The Rape of the Congo and Your Cellphone” Click HERE.

 

Get a glimpse of this amazing speaker and analysis.

 

Get this YouTube into the mass societal debates over

health care, the economy, is Obama a communist.
Get it posted on facebook and blogs and then join the debate!
 
Michael Moore’s “Capitalism: A Love Story” has thrown, as Michael Moore puts it, the first salvo to begin a discussion on capitalism and why it has to go.

Michael Moore does not propose a solution and in fact states he has not even read Marx.  He may not be a communist, but we are!  And if this movie moved you to want to know more, to get into a critical debate about the future of humanity, human nature, and the fact that there is actually a real, viable and desirable alternative - COMMUNISM - then you need to tune in to an incredible evening with Maoist political economist and communist Raymond Lotta.  (See below.)

Raymond Lotta is a revolutionary intellectual who takes as his foundation Bob Avakian’s new synthesis. He has written extensively on China during and after the Cultural Revolution, playing a major role in elucidating the actual thinking of Mao. In writings, talks, and YouTubes, he has fought to spread the truth-and refute the lies–about communist revolution in the Soviet Union in 1917-1956 and in China in 1949-1976 (www.thisiscommunism.org). Lotta has also done major work on political economy, including America in Decline and the series Shifts and Faultlines in the World Economy (www.revcom.us).

Events like this are the mission of Revolution Books, New York, and this is why it is important to contribute to the store at this time. 

Every day, people are told that radical and revolutionary alternatives are unworkable and undesirable. Communism and socialism are ruled out of the dominant discourse. The political imagination is stunted, sights lowered, and people are taught to think that capitalism / imperialism is the only and best way the world could be.

 
The work of Revolution Books is critical to lifting the lid on this.

 
No place else can people find and wrestle with the books, with theory that reveals how the world could be. Today there is the technology and productive capacity to meet the basic needs of all the world’s people-with the potential for a whole different cooperative world.
 
Revolution Books is not about learning to survive on shrinking ground, accepting the status quo and holding on for dear life. Revolution Books is part of contributing to a new spirit and atmosphere of critical engagement, putting revolution back into the larger societal conversation.

____________________________

In 2003 Bob Avakian delivered this historic talk in the United States. This is a wide-ranging revolutionary journey. It breaks down the very nature of the society we live in and how humanity has come to a time where a radically different society is possible. He lays it all out in a nine-hour speech-and then goes into three hours of question-and-answer dialogue with the audiences. It’s all there - full of heart and soul, humor and seriousness.

There is nothing online like THIS: nothing that gets at these questions as deeply, thoroughly and truthfully as this. Millions of people are searching for the truth, and watching videos, short and long. Some of these give part of the answer; but some of them - including some of the most popular - give people bullshit answers, pointing people in the wrong direction and spreading poison. Here, and all over the world, people need to see Revolution: Why It’s Necessary, Why It’s Possible, What It’s All About.

And YOU are needed to spread this.

Get with and be part of launching the Revolution film online.
