"Revolution: Why its Necessary, Why its Possible, What its all about" is a lengthy yet fascinating lecture by Bob Avakian, the Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party of the United States.
This monday and tuesday we can watch the first four hours (in two sittings) of Avakian:
"in his first public appearance since 1979, Avakian offers an astute critical analysis of American politics and the Maoist tactics that he believes can bring about revolutionary change. Although 20th century history has demonstrated the complications inherent in achieving the Communist ideal, Avakian puts forth a compelling case that a revolutionary program is what contemporary America needs (if not necessarily what it desires)"
"Bob Avakian is the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. And he is more than that: he's an innovative and critical thinker who has taken Marxism to a new place; he's a provocative commentator on everything from basketball to religion, doo-wop music to science and he's a pit-bull fighter against oppression who's kept both his solemn sense of purpose and his irrepressible sense of humor"
Goldsmiths RHB Cinema Monday 18th Feb 6pm - 8pm and Tuesday 19th Feb 6pm-8pm
All welcome.
