A Talk by Sunsara Taylor
We Need & We Demand: A Whole New Way to Live A Fundamentally Different System
Because millions are driven from their homelands – only to be hunted like animals by ICE.
Yet it is possible to meet people’s needs everywhere. Without savage inequalities and exploitation. Celebrating different languages and cultures.
Because the Fascist Trump Regime unleashes open white supremacy and vile hatred against women and trans people. Shreds basic rights. Imposes an even more brutal, terroristic form of rule.
Yet it is possible to end racism, liberate women and end gender oppression.
Because the U.S. launches wars imperialist aggression. Backs the genocidal terrorist state of Israel – under Biden and Trump. Risks nuclear conflict. All while the planet burns.
Yet it is possible to move beyond war and marshal humanity’s resources to care for the Earth.
THE SCIENTIFIC TRUTH:
All these horrors flow from THE SYSTEM OF CAPITALISM-IMPERIALISM.
This system cannot be reformed.
It must be overthrown through a REAL REVOLUTION.
Relying on the Democratic Party is a loser. They are part of the problem! Electing “progressives” within this same system is meaningless. Tinkering on the margins with mutual aid falls woefully short. And while we need much more righteous resistance like in Minneapolis, even this can only go so far.
Humanity needs REVOLUTION and REAL SOCIALISM – a radically different economic and political system, and a transition to a communist world free of all exploitation and oppression.
You’ve been told to stay away from COMMUNISM. NO!  Past revolutions brought liberating transformations to hundreds of millions. Not surprisingly, these first revolutions were also marked by shortcomings and errors.
Now, through decades of work and struggle, Bob Avakian (BA) has scientifically sifted through this rich experience, advanced beyond it, and brought this together with advances in other fields to forge the new communism, a whole new framework for the emancipation of humanity. BA has written the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America. This is the only real alternative to the worsening spiral of capitalist destruction.
You’ve been told that revolution is impossible. Bullshit! No empire lasts forever. With the rulers at each other’s throats and society ripping apart, revolution is more possible – and we have a strategy.
Now is the time for you to step in.
Part of you resists this. If it’s true—it demands you leave your comfort zone.
But a bigger part of you knows:
It would betray your conscience and humanity itself to refuse to find out, because…
If this is real—there is nothing more meaningful you could do with your life.
Come hear the truth. Confront the world as it actually is—and as it could be.
Come find out why you should become a new communist revolutionary.
