Hundreds of people around the country rallied and marched with Refuse Fascism in nearly a dozen cities on Saturday around the slogans The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go NOW! and In The Name of Humanity We Refuse To Accept A Fascist America.  These marches got enthusiastic responses from the sidewalks, the streets, the cars and the people in open air restaurants. Speakers included lawyers and ministers as well as activists from the immigrant and trans communities and beyond. There were speakers from local ACLU and NAACP chapters. And there was breadth of perspectives and viewpoints spanning those who believe that promise of America is being dangerously violated by Trump Fascism as well as revolutionary communists who spoke from the REVCOM CORPS For The Emancipation of Humanity. What united them—and what gave these demonstrations real power—was the call that Trump Must Go NOW. RefuseFascism.org chapters grew stronger through the process of organizing these.   What is critical now is to go forward with this new strength, to reach out further, and to immediately focus on the major demonstrations called for June 14 under the slogan “No Kings,” while continuing to take the battle against fascism everywhere in the meantime.  We’re posting below the flyer handed out by RefuseFascism at these events which gives real direction going forward.

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!
