Thursday, May 1st is International Workers’ Day! We’re having a celebration at 6pm at Revolution Books (details below)-- and we’re calling on every supporter and friend of Revolution Books to celebrate this special holiday in a number of different ways:
Revolution newspaper has just announced “the publication of a pamphlet entitled Revolution and Communism: A Foundation and Strategic Orientation on May 1, 2008. This pamphlet contains Making Revolution and Emancipating Humanity, by Bob Avakian, along with On the Possibility of Revolution. “Some Crucial Points of Revolutionary Orientation—in Opposition to Infantile Posturing and Distortions of Revolution” is also included in this pamphlet.
This pamphlet emphatically challenges and refutes the message that revolution is impossible and communism unworkable and not desirable. In fact, revolution and communism are exactly what humanity needs! This pamphlet speaks to why communist revolution is not only necessary, but possible—and how it could be made. It concentrates the strategic foundation and scaffolding for advancing on the road of revolution and communism, and winning growing numbers of the masses to that cause, through hard struggle (both against the enemy, but also including sharp ideological struggle with the masses) and with all the twists and turns that will inevitably be encountered.”
(Read more about this it at revcom.us.)
Copies of this historic pamphlet and Revolution/Revolucion will be available starting Tuesday, April 29th. Other ways to hook up:
Wednesday, April 30, 7pm at Revolution Books
“Making Revolution and Emancipating Humanity” by Bob Avakian. Discussion of the slogan “Fight the Power, and Transform the People, for Revolution”
Thursday, May 1--8:30am
Join us in bringing revolution and communism to the immigrants’ rights march on May 1st. This is a big opportunity to connect Revolution/Revolución and the new historic pamphlet, Revolution and Communism: A Foundation and Strategic Orientation, with many thousands who are thirsty for a better world. Meet up at 8:30 am at the northwest corner of Union Park (Lake & Ashland). Look for the red flags!
Thursday, May 1--6pm
Afterward the march, we’ll be celebrating the holiday of the international proletariat with a party at Revolution Books— music, food, a few toasts, and lots of fun!

Help Make Bob Avakian’s Away With All Gods! Unchaining the Mind and Radically Changing the World a Major Social Question
From the Revolution Newspaper editorial:
A Challenge to Take Up, Engage With, and Promote Away With All Gods!
With the publication of Bob Avakian’s Away With All Gods! Unchaining the Mind and Radically Changing the World, a highly fraught political and ideological moment meets an author who can powerfully speak to the questions posed by that moment. At a time of broad controversy and debate over religion—on a scale unprecedented in recent times—and over ideology more generally, Avakian’s book fills a unique need with power. . . and poetry.
