Event Details

“Trump Sets the Stage to Steal the Next Election: The Need to Defeat Fascism, the Potential for Revolution”
Join us for a discussion on this timely & urgent article from revcom.us

Some of the points from this article:
“These fascists deeply and fanatically believe that only they are the legitimate rulers of this system and they are actively working to rig and steal the next election—without violence if they can, but through violence if they must.”

“You don’t change or ‘control’ this system through the elections, the elections is how you get controlled, confined and channeled–in your thinking, and actions.”

“There need to be growing millions recognizing the full fascist program, in sustained nonviolent protest, determined to drive this whole fascist regime from power NOW! ”

“At the same time, there is great urgency in looking deeper into the very system that has given rise to this fascism, and so many other atrocities, and in looking for answers outside of and beyond this system. For while the situation is full of extreme and very negative danger, there is also the possibility that a revolution to bring a whole new system into being could be wrenched out of all this craziness…”

“That radical change is spelled out in an inspiring way in the Declaration from the revcoms, We Need and We Demand: A Whole New Way to Live, A Fundamentally Different System”
