DESCRIPTION:A  Historic Contradiction: Fundamentally Changing The World Without 
 "Turning Out the Lights"\n\nIntroduction:\n\nRecently 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 with their thinking on 
 this contradiction. Avakian wrote the following:\n\nIn the polemic against 
 Alain Badiou's political philosophy in the online theoretical journal 
 Demarcations, the following concise indictment is made of Badiou's ultimate 
 reformism, and of reformism in general:\n\n"And the world stays 
 fundamentally unchanged. Capitalism-imperialism continues humming in the 
 'background,' crushing lives and destroying spirits in its meat-grinder of 
 exploitation. And the horrors continue unabated."\n\nThis is our standing 
 and powerful refutation of every other trend in the world. On the other 
 hand, the way that a lot of people look at what we're about—and not 
 entirely without justification—is: "Here come the communists, turn out 
 the lights, the party's over."\n\nAll this embodies a real, and profound, 
 contradiction that we must continue to wrestle with.\n\nHere are 19 
 responses to Avakian's invitation.\n
