5 Years Since Hurricane Katrina:
Never Forgive, Never Forget
Recently Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA,
drew attention to the following contradiction and then invited some people
associated with or with responsibility in regard to the Party to respond

CAPITALIST OIL SPILL... SYSTEM NOT FIT TO BE THE
CARETAKER OF THE PLANET
The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform that killed 11 workers on April 20 threatens to
become a massive and perhaps unparalleled environmental disaster. Current estimates are that 200,000 gallons a day are
gushing out of the sea floor, one mile beneath the surface. The spill endangers marsh, fragile ponds, creeks, lakes, and
other wetlands making up 40% of U.S. total wetlands.
This is a capitalist oil spill. The Gulf of Mexico has been
turned into a vast laboratory for deep-water oil drilling to serve capitalism's relentless drive for profit and strategic
control of energy resources. Official U.S. government policy has encouraged this. The inconvenient truth is that this oil
leak could have been prevented. But it is "cost-effective" for companies like British Petroleum to scrimp on safety and
environmental protection measures and equipment.

Everyone can contribute to getting this out on the ground or online.
"This is the most radical, and most liberatory video you can find online. There really is nothing else like it in answering deeply the three questions in the title, three of the most important questions of our time. And through this talk, you get to meet Bob Avakian - America's most radical revolutionary. . .his sharp intolerance for the suffering brought onto the masses of people, his deep understanding of the cause of this suffering, and what can be made possible with a revolution made by those same people. He breaks down an understanding that is hidden, letting people in on the secret workings behind this system. . .and more than that, breaks down a scientific method so they can apply and understand this themselves. He lays out what this revolution is about, challenging people to step out of the world this system has us locked in, articulating a radically re-envisioned socialism and communism. And he does it all with heart and humor." - From Revolution #188 editorial.
Despite what is constantly preached at us, this capitalist system we live under,
this way of life that constantly drains away—or in an instant blows away—life for
the great majority of humanity, does not represent the best possible world—nor the
only possible world. The ways in which the daily train of life has, for centuries
and millennia, caused the great majority of humanity to be weighed down, broken in
body and spirit, by oppression, agony, degradation, violence and destruction, and
the dark veil of ignorance and superstition, is not the fault of this suffering humanity—
nor is this the “will” of some non-existent god or gods, or the result of some unchanging
and unchangeable “human nature.” All this is the expression, and the result, of the way
human society has developed up to this point under the domination of exploiters and oppressors...
but that very development has brought humanity to the point where what has been, for thousands
of years, no longer has to be—where a whole different way of life is possible in which human
beings, individually and above all in their mutual interaction with each other, in all parts
of the world, can throw off the heavy chains of tradition and rise to their full height and
thrive in ways never before experienced, or even fully imagined.
CONSTITUTION of the
Revolutionary Communist Party
RCP Publications announces the publication of the new Constitution of the RCP,
USA—one that lays out the mission and vision of a new stage of communist revolution,
informed by Bob Avakian’s new synthesis of communist theory. The constitution puts
forward this vision in a very accessible way, as well as laying out the principles
of organization and the theoretical foundation of the Party. This includes an
important appendix on communist theory as a scientific and revolutionary theory.
This constitution serves as a bold declaration that there is indeed a party, in the
belly of the imperialist U.S., with the determination and strategic analysis to make
a revolution. . . and the vision, method and understanding of society and history to
ensure that it is a revolution worth making.
More than a store, Revolution Books is a center of revolutionary ferment – a crucible in which
the most liberating science, revolutionary communism, interacts and mixes it up with all the
streams of progressive, radical, and revolutionary intellectual life — a place to engage the
whole world. Here you'll find an insatiable thirst for the truth, a fearless approach to engaging
all of reality coming from a deep understanding that the problem in today's world is
capitalism/imperialism, and that a communist world brought into being by a revolution will be far
better.
At the core of Revolution Books is the path breaking work of Bob Avakian which goes beyond even the
best of the previous socialist societies and re-envisions a socialism that is both visionary and
viable, on the road to the truly liberating future of Communism. With its communist foundation,
Revolution Books features a broad and diverse cutting edge collection of revolutionary and political
theory, literature and poetry, history and science, and a selection of periodicals. Revolution Books
will continue featuring author readings, revolutionary programs and discussions, poetry readings,
films and other events.
