DESCRIPTION:Presentation and discussion on \nConstitution, Law, and Rights - in 
 capitalist society and in the future socialist society, selections from the 
 writings of Bob Avakian and excerpts from the Constitution for the New 
 Socialist Republic in North America (Draft Proposal) from the Revolutionary 
 Communist Party, USA.\n\nMany claim the U.S. Constitution is a model for 
 all societies because it protects "freedom: and peoples' rights." Yet, 
 under this system,  murder by police is rampant, millions of people are 
 incarcerated, and there is not, and there can be no basic rights necessary 
 for survival -- like a "right to eat." But why is this?\n\nWhat role does 
 the U.S. Constitution and legal system play in reinforcing exploitation and 
 oppression?  How is it the legal underpinning of today's capitalist 
 society?\n\nSome accuse communism of stripping peoples' individual rights. 
 But how does Bob Avakian's new synthesis of communism actually give far 
 greater scope to human freedom and the protection of individual rights? 
 What legal structure is outlined in the Constitution for a New Socialist 
 Republic? \nIn comparing and contrasting the concepts of constitution, law, 
 and rights under both capitalism and socialism, what are the profound 
 differences in social content and role?\n\nBring your thoughts and your 
 comments to the discussion!\n\n
