DESCRIPTION:Come to the Open House at Revolution Books, 4-6pm,\nPresentation & 
 Discussion, 6-7pm\n2444 Durant Ave. Berkeley\n\nWe invite you to check out 
 our array of exciting and provocative books and meet our staff.\n\nFind out 
 about:\n\nWho is Bob Avakian?\n\nWhat is he saying is the problem and the 
 solution for the horrible mess the world is in now?\n\nAnd why is he and 
 this movement for revolution coming under attack now?\n\nThis is a time of 
 searing crisis: the overturning of Roe v. Wade is forcing women into 
 motherhood, the destruction of the planet looms, violent murder by police 
 of Black youth continues, immigrants are hounded at the border, and war 
 heats up around the globe.\n\nIn this time when questions of what kind of 
 future for humanity come to the fore, we are also seeing a series of 
 attacks on the movement for revolution, particularly focused on vicious and 
 slanderous attacks on Bob Avakian.\n\nFrom the 7/18/22 www.revcom.us 
 article:\n\n"Last week, three very different news outlets—the Daily 
 Beast, The Intercept, and the Daily Caller—launched three very similar 
 attacks on Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, the Revcoms and Bob Avakian. The 
 Daily Beast is a mainstream liberal outlet; The Intercept is more of a 
 so-called “progressive” one; and the Daily Caller is straight-up 
 fascist. Yet each had the scare phrase “communist cult,” or words to 
 that effect, in the headline. Each repeated baseless, libelous and 
 potentially very dangerous charges against Bob Avakian, as well as Sunsara 
 Taylor, who co-initiated Rise Up and is a follower of Bob Avakian."\n\n"At 
 a time of sharp change—one way or the other, reactionary and murderous or 
 revolutionary and emancipating—leadership is decisive. It should be very 
 clear that not only those who have carved out a little niche in this 
 society, but infinitely more so those who run this society would feel 
 threatened by leadership that did have a revolutionary orientation, a 
 viable strategy for an actual revolution and a compelling vision of what 
 comes next, a method for people to understand and transform society, and a 
 bone-deep feeling for the people themselves. That leadership is Bob 
 Avakian."\n\nRead: Behind the Week of Internet Attacks on Bob Avakian and
