Join the REVOLUTION CLUB!

March 6, 2015 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us It is up to us: to wake up...to shake off the ways they put on us, the ways they have us thinking so they can keep us down and trapped in the same old rat-race...to rise up, as conscious Emancipators of Humanity. The days when this system can just keep on doing what it does to people, here and all over the world...when people are not inspired and organized to stand up against these outrages and to build up the strength to put an end to this madness...those days must be GONE. And they CAN be. From The Revolution We Need… The Leadership We Have If that vision moves you... and if you want to be part of making that real... then you need to be part of the Revolution Club. The Revolution Club stands for two basic principles: 1) We need a whole better world, one where there is no longer exploitation and oppression, and the messed-up ways of thinking and acting that flow out of all that. In short, we need a communist world. And we need a revolution against THIS capitalist-imperialist system to get us to that world. The vision of this better world, and the strategy for how to get there, has been developed to a new level by Bob Avakian (BA)—the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. For this reason, the Revolution Club’s first main slogan is: Humanity Needs Revolution and Communism The Revolution Club digs into and spreads the work of BA, and defends his leadership. 2) We can’t make the revolution today, with conditions and people the way they are now. But revolution can come about as conditions and people change. But that means that people who want to see revolution have work to do right now—work to hasten the day when the chance for revolution does emerge, and work to prepare people to be able to win when that chance does come on the agenda. This leads to the second slogan of the Revolution Club: Fight the Power, and Transform the People, for Revolution This means that the Revolution Club leads the people today to politically fight the power in many different ways, and leads them to change themselves as they struggle to change the world. Through this process people can come to recognize that a different kind of world is possible, what their real interests are, and who their real friends and real enemies are—as they rise up against this system. All this is part of preparing for sudden changes—changes brought on by serious political or economic crises that flow out of this very system and jolt all of society. When such times emerge, millions of people can be won to see the need for fundamental change, and the possibility for revolution could emerge—if those who see the need for revolution begin now to reach and influence people. The Revolution Club is about preparing for those future days. And it is about learning and doing. You don’t need to know everything to get started... and you don’t have to start out doing the hardest things. There are important things for everybody to do, and there are ways and means to find out what revolution and communism are all about, even if you are just getting into this. You do need to want to be part of the fight against this system, and to learn more as you fight. There is a place for you to contribute to building the movement for revolution, in many different ways, big and small, with ideas and practical involvement, with support, and with questions and criticisms. So if you want to stand up against what’s wrong... and if you want to learn more about how things could be made right... if you want to learn about and follow the revolutionary leader who has developed the vision of a whole new world and strategy to get there... and most of all, if you want to be part of getting humanity to that new world—then you need to check out the Revolution Club. Be part of emancipating all of humanity through revolution, and advancing to a communist world, free of exploitation and oppression!
