How could it really be real that tens of millions could come forward to defeat this fascism? And how does that relate to being in a time when revolution is more possible? (Excerpt from The Bob Avakian Interviews, 2025)

From the Bob Avakian Interviews, 2025: You have said that never before in any proposed or actually existing founding document of a government has there been anything close to the level, not only of provision for dissent, protest, disagreement and ferment as is written into the Constitution that you authored. While also being oriented to meeting people's basic needs and overcoming oppression. Can you give an example of how this is built into the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic?
