Raymond Lotta will cut through the lies and slanders, and set the record straight about humanity’s first attempts to create societies free of exploitation and oppression. He will bring out the truth of the history and achievements of these first socialist revolutions—as well as their errors and problems, and how capitalism was restored in those countries. And he will speak to how humanity can go much further and do much better in a new wave of revolution based on the new communism developed by the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian.
The stakes could not be higher. As Bob Avakian put it:
Once the possibility of a really radical and truly emancipating alternative—a fundamentally different system and way to live, as represented by the communist revolution—once this is closed off, in reality and in people’s minds, all kinds of horrors will continue, and sooner or later those whose minds have been closed to this emancipating alternative will become complicit in, or at least accommodate to, those horrors, one way or another.
Come hear Raymond Lotta. Bring your toughest questions and biggest concerns.
Raymond Lotta is a follower of the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian and an advocate of the new communism Avakian has developed. He is a political economist who has written widely on the history of communist revolution, imperialist globalization, and principles of socialist sustainable development.
