DESCRIPTION:“The development of U.S. imperialism, shifts in social relations and 
 conditions, and challenges in making revolution” – Presentation and 
 discussion\n\n\nIn part 2 of his recent talk, “Birds Cannot Give Birth to 
 Crocodiles, but Humanity Can Soar Beyond the Horizon,” Bob Avakian, 
 Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, explores the challenges 
 of “Building the Movement for Revolution,” including:\n\n\n* “The 
 development of U.S. imperialism, shifts in social relations and conditions, 
 and challenges in making revolution”\n\n* “Bedrock forces for 
 revolution, breaking with dogma and stereotypes”\n\n* Why “we have to 
 have a living scientific approach, and a living scientific method, in 
 relation to transforming reality”\n\n* “We are not going to make 
 revolution by trying to superimpose on reality a model of how a socialist 
 transformation is ‘supposed’ to take place. That is why, among other 
 reasons, the Trotskyites seem so ridiculous. They come around talking about 
 ‘the labor movement’ and ‘the trade unions,’ as if they are in 
 Western Europe at the end of the 19th century.”\n\n* “The most bedrock 
 force for revolution will include ‘lower and deeper’ sections of the 
 proletariat, certainly .. It will include many immigrants among them...But 
 it will also be, and perhaps will largely be , basic masses, particularly 
 those concentrated in the inner cities—many of whom are not strictly 
 speaking part of the proletarian class—who will make up this most bedrock 
 force.\n\n* The profound contradictions asserting themselves today in the 
 U.S. that are unresolved—and unresolvable – within this system and 
 which can be driving forces for revolution.\nPresentation & Discussed will 
 draw from sections: “The development of U.S. imperialism, shifts in 
 social relations and conditions, and challenges in making revolution,” 
 “Bedrock forces for revolution, breaking with dogma and stereotypes”and 
 “Profound and acute contradictions, real potential for 
 revolution.”(online at:
