BAsics

You can’t change the world if you don’t know the BAsics—later this year, 2010!

Work is in full swing for the publication this fall of BAsics...a back-pocket-size book of about 100 quotations from Bob Avakian. BAsics will make BA, his work, and leadership much more widely known, and enable people to grasp, wield, and discuss his understanding and development of the strategy for making revolution, his path-breaking re-envisioning of socialism and communism, and his ability to speak to key questions with depth, nuance, insight, heart, and humor.

BAsics is a crucial element of the campaign, "The Revolution We Need... The Leadership We Have." This important project needs your involvement and participation.

Get your suggestions in now for BA quotes for BAsics. Send to thebasics2010@yahoo.com by July 31. (Entries even after that date from prisoners are encouraged.)

Ideas and volunteers are needed for all aspects of the BAsics project: fundraising, transcribing, proofreading, translating, production, promotion and distribution.

"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."
