700 BAsics Sent to Prisoners, Donate to Send 1,300 More

The Prisoners Revolutionary Literature Fund has now mailed 700 copies of BAsics to prisoners and thanks all who participated and contributed during the Thanksgiving weekend bold outreach. Now PRLF is calling on everyone to donate generously and double their efforts to spread the word to reach the total goal of 2000 BAsics for prisoners. The remaining 1,300 copies will cost $13,000. YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

This California prisoner expresses the sentiments of many: "I have just received my copy of 'BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian'! I have been looking forward to receiving the book, since I first started hearing about it in 'Revolution'! I first off want to thank all the donors for their contributions! Their support makes it possible for people like me to keep that flame in our hearts ablaze and our minds sharp to fend off the oppressors! Words cannot convey the gratitude I feel! Know that your contributions make a huge difference in our lives..."

"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.

"While this is a very important formulation and is crucial to understanding much of the dynamics driving things in the world in this period, at the same time we do have to be clear about which of these 'historically outmodeds' has done the greater damage and poses the greater threat to humanity: It is the historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system, and in particular the U.S. imperialists."

Bob Avakian, BAsics 1:28

"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."
