DESCRIPTION:In a series of urgent social media messages, "Real Revolution, In This 
 Time: What the Powers-That-Be Don’t Want You to Know", Bob Avakian has 
 addressed crucial burning questions.  Revolution Books is starting a weekly 
 series of discussions centering on these messages, starting with Revolution 
 #33:\n\n“The powerful positive experience of the 1960s movement—the 
 crucial importance of uniting broadly against injustice and atrocity, with 
 open-minded engagement of different ideas and programs...”\n\nCollege 
 campuses have been the site of powerful resistance to the U.S.-backed 
 Israeli genocidal slaughter of Palestinian people. College students going 
 up against their own government on a matter of strategic importance has 
 challenged many – who are starting to look at this system,  and their 
 responsibility to the people of the world in new ways.\n\nCollege students

 has challenged many – who are starting to look at this system,  and their 
 responsibility to the people of the world in new ways.\n\nRevolution #33 
 draws crucial lessons from the 1960s to speak to this moment:\n\nWhat 
 characterized the truly massive movement of the 1960s, with all its 
 different tendencies, was a determination to actually put an end to the 
 outrages that people were rising up against, along with a broad sense of 
 “being in this together in the fight for a better world,” and the 
 generosity of spirit, as well as largeness of mind, that went along with 
 that. One of the significant expressions of this was meaningful discussion 
 and debate about different ideas and programs, within the broad mass 
 movement, where the actual content and substance of opposing positions was 
 gotten into, instead of petty bickering relying on “cheap shots” and 
 distortion of the views of others—or the refusal to seriously engage 
 views that are different from and might challenge one’s own 
 viewpoint.\n\nFollow Bob Avakian on social media on\nSubstack, Instagram,
