REVOLUTION #119:

Bob Avakian New Year Message 2025

 

WHY IS BOB AVAKIAN SO IMPORTANT?
Besides the fact that he is the only leader in this country who is talking about a real revolution—and besides the fact that he is actually leading the process of actively working for that revolution—what Bob Avakian (BA) has done, with the development of the new communism, is of world historic importance. It is, in fact, a whole new framework for human emancipation. No one else has done what BA has done.
