Revolution and Communism: A Foundation and Strategic Orientation

A Revolution pamphlet
(reprints from Revolution newspaper)

May 1, 2008

Revolution and Communism: A Foundation and Strategic Orientation consists of "Making Revolution and Emancipating Humanity" by Bob Avakian, a talk which was serialized in REVOLUTION beginning October 21, 2007, in issues 105 through 120; and "On the Possibility of Revolution," which consists of a letter from a reader raising an important question of revolutionary strategy and a response—both printed in REVOLUTION newspaper issue 102, September 23, 2007. As the title of this pamphlet implies, this provides a foundation and strategy for revolution aimed at the ultimate goal of communism.

"What we see in contention here with Jihad on the one hand and McWorld/McCrusade on the other hand, are historically outmoded strata among colonized and oppressed humanity up against historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system. These two reactionary poles reinforce each other, even while opposing each other. If you side with either of these 'outmodeds,' you end up strengthening both."

Bob Avakian, Chairman of the RCP,USA From the talk, “Why We’re in the Situation We’re in Today… And What to Do About It: A Thoroughly Rotten System and the Need for Revolution”

"In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no 'democracy for all': one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality."
