DESCRIPTION:Mon May 28th 12-3pm\n\nAmerican Crimes Memorial BBQ at the Lake   \n\nWe 
 will have a Revolution Books table and a BBQ 12-3pm.  Look for us on the 
 East side of Lake Merritt on Lakeshore Ave. at Brooklyn Ave.\n\n\nBring 
 your self, your friends and family, and food to share.. Spread the word to 
 others to come be part of it, and be part of building the 
 revolution.\n\n\nThis memorial day, as the fascist rulers of America 
 rampage toward war on Iran and North Korea, and ALL the politicians vomit 
 all over everybody about honoring the U.S. military, Revolution Books 
 invites you to The AMERICAN CRIMES Memorial BBQ instead.\n\n\nWe will come 
 together to eat some good food and build community around getting organized 
 for actual revolution that puts humanity first.\n\nWe will NOT be honoring 
 the American military and those who have served in it.\n\n\nWe WILL be 
 telling the truth about American Crimes that have been committed against 
 people here and all over the world. From slavery and genocide, to CIA coup 
 d'états and U.S.-backed death squads in Africa and Latin America and Asia 
 that killed millions, to invasions and wars where the USA slaughtered 
 millions, and on and on and on.\n\n\nWe will NOT be "thanking the troops 
 for their service." Our message to U.S. troops that kill and torture and 
 rape for U.S. empire? FUCK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! The troops we honor are 
 the ones who reclaim their humanity by refusing to fight for this country 
 and instead stand with the people of the world.\n\n\nWe WILL inspire people 
 to see their common cause with the billions of people throughout the world 
 in making revolution to overthrow this system. And we will be spreading the 
 word about the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian, who has dedicated his life 
 to working on the problems of the revolution and has developed a New 
 Communism, the understanding humanity needs to make the revolution we 
 need.\n\n\nBasics 1:5\n\n"It is not uncommon to hear these days, from 
 government officials and others, that only 1 percent of the population is 
 in the U.S. military but that this 1 percent is fighting for the freedom of 
 the other 99 percent. The truth, however, is this: That 1 percent, in the 
 military, is in reality fighting for the other 1 percent: the big 
 capitalist-imperialists who run this country - who control the economy, the 
 political system, the military, the media, and the other key institutions - 
 and who dominate large parts of the world, wreaking havoc and causing great 
 suffering for literally billions of people. It is the "freedom" of these 
 capitalist-imperialists - their freedom to exploit, oppress, and plunder - 
 that this 1 percent in the military is actually killing and sometimes dying 
 for."\n- Bob Avakian\n \n
