Bob Avakian is trying but he's not as deep as the people who listen to him try to make him. From what I've heard he's basically a reporter and reports on the flaws of society, the system or this civilization, but he provides no tangible realistic solutions.

@raynard88666 Lenin said antisemitism was an old tsarist way of dividing the workers so it you consider yourself a Marxist-Leninist then your not a very good one

My new hero. Thanks for uploading. I heard this on KPFK yesterday in my car as I was driving in the inner city Los Angeles, CA.

@raynard88666 You dumb fuck, a cop is more likely to be killed in a traffic related accident then anything else and if he is to be killed by a citizen stats show it will more then likely be a white male between the ages of 23-44. That aint hard to believe seeing that a cop is more inclined to trust a non-black who may pose the real threat, due to the never ending campaign against minorities and Muslims. Ppl like you are the real terrorist.

@ProserpinaFC not white mans fault ass wipe. jews run the fuckinf media shit bag! go find out and get a clue! stop blaming white man for every one else's flaws!

@freddy2btrue cops are sick of being shot down by stupid subhuman nigs. i am glad the cops are fighting mad and i dont care who they kill now, as long as the dead are blacks!

@platization Actualy, as a communist leader, he's got plenty to say to anybody agonizing over the horrors of this system or concerned with the future of humanity. Unlike anyone else you mentioned here, he has a way out. He has an analysis of what is the real problem, the real cause, and the only solution. Anyone who wants the emancipation of ALL humanity should seriously check out the full talk at revolutiontalk[dot]net

@platization Bob Avakian has developed program for how to make communist revolution in the U.S. He has spent decades studying the first wave of socialist revolutions, what their advances were but also their shortcomings & looking at this from many different angles. He has withstood many obstacles, included attacks from the state, many people giving up on revolution, slanders on communism and throughout all of this has managed to strengthen the possibility for revolution right here in the U.S.

@ultromundoespossible Could you elaborate on that for me? I'm confused.

@platization Try Lisa Duggan, Judith Butler, Cathy Cohen, or Dean Spade.
