Episode 167: The Future's at Stake: The Framework, Leadership & Struggle For a Whole New Emancipating Way to Live

The first part of the show is a wide-ranging commentary by host Andy Zee, on winning – and winning: winning a revolution not for revenge, not so "the last shall be first," but to emancipate all of humanity. He examines the dangers facing humanity, all coming directly from the system of capitalism-imperialism. He goes into the significance of the deep divisions within the ruling class in the US, and the possibility this creates for an emancipating revolution. And how all this points to the importance of the framework for the emancipation of all humanity, and the scientific method, brought forward by the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian.

We then hear news about the RevComs and the urgent fight to put revolution on the map this year. This includes critical actions to spread and popularize the Bob Avakian Interviews on the RNL Show. This ends with an excerpt from the Bob Avakian Interviews: "State Power in the Hands of the Right People Is a Great Thing"

The show continues with two sharp critiques of major mental chains that weigh millions of people down. One is with Rafael Kadaris and Sunsara Taylor that goes into Woke Identity Politics, a politics that paralyzes and intimidates decent people from speaking and acting against the very forms of oppression that need to be strongly opposed with the broadest unity.

The other is an excerpt from the talk that Raymond Lotta gave at Revolution Books, New York, on the lies and distortions of what communism is, its history, and the New Communism developed by Bob Avakian. The talk is called The Communist Revolution So Badly Needed vs The Anti-Communist Brainwash You're Getting.
