Capitalism Is A Straitjacket On Humanity’s Chance To Save Our Planet… Only A REAL Revolution Can Remove That Straitjacket

Look around. The planet is literally burning and hurling toward environmental catastrophe. Millions COULD BE put  to work to SOLVE this – scientists, environmentalists, the youth, the resources and knowledge of humanity. Many are sounding the alarm and mobilizing to tackle this urgent problem, but under this system of capitalism-imperialism this CAN ONLY BE suffocated, squandered, and straitjacketed.
All of this is completely unnecessary, and there is not much time to turn this around. The straitjacket is not greed or corruption. Capitalism puts the resources and knowledge humanity has developed in the hands of capitalists who are driven to “expand or die”, to compete for more profits, to exploit humanity and the planet in ever more brutal ways. If politicians tried to violate these basic laws of capitalism, the society could not function. This system cannot be reformed, it MUST BE OVERTHROWN. The National Revolution Tour is out to recruit YOU into this revolution.
At the top of this world-wide, dog-eat-dog system sits America, a country built on white supremacy, male supremacy, and wars of conquest. Now this system has brought a fascist Trump-Pence regime to power, imposing even more vicious and dangerous forms of all this, and threatening the future of humanity by denying climate science and escalating the possibility of nuclear war.
Meanwhile the so-called "opposition", the Democratic Party, has no answers. They represent the same system that caused this existential threat in the first place. They refuse to call people into the streets (the way it was done in Puerto Rico and other places) to drive out this fascist regime. Instead, they have people hitting the snooze button, waiting until 2020, and thinking about America and Americans first. The planet cannot be saved by trying to make America’s parasitic consumer society “green” (it would take 5 earths for everyone to live that way). And you can’t keep the U.S. military intact which both enforces this empire with murderous brutality, and is the largest institution polluting the earth.
Only an emancipating revolution to bring into being a radically different society can shatter the restraints of this system-and the violence used to enforce it-and take off the straitjacket. A society and system that can fully unleash people to meaningfully work on solving the environmental emergency and eradicating all forms of oppression. Bob Avakian has developed a strategy to make this revolution, a blueprint for this new society based on the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, and a scientific approach to make this revolution in the New Communism. The National Revolution Tour is on a mission to organize thousands throughout the country into a force to represent that future, bring the possibility of revolution alive for growing numbers of people, and bring closer the time when millions can be led to go all-out to make this revolution.

“...we have two choices: either, live with all this—and condemn future generations to the same, or worse, if they have a future at all—or, make revolution!”
—Bob Avakian
