DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Discussion on: What Should We Do Now to Work for 
 Revolution?\n\nWe'll discuss this excerpt from the talk by Bob 
 Avakian:\n"Something terrible something truly emancipating, Profound 
 Crisis, Deepening Divisions, The Looming Possibility Of Civil War—And The 
 Revolution That Is Urgently Needed A Necessary Foundation, A Basic Roadmap 
 For This Revolution" from 2021. \n\n"The basic way to do this is laid out 
 in the “Declaration and Call.” First of all:\n\n"We need to urgently 
 change the situation where not nearly enough people know about this 
 revolution and are with it. We need to get this revolution, and its 
 leadership, known everywhere. We need to challenge and seriously struggle 
 with people right around us, and all over the country, to do something 
 that, yes, requires real heart and will make a positive difference for 
 real—become part of this revolution, and follow this revolutionary 
 leadership. We need to organize more and more people into the ranks of the 
 revolution.\n\n"So what does it mean to go to work now to organize people 
 into this revolution? As the “Declaration and Call” 
 explains:\n\n"Organizing people into this revolution means reaching out to 
 all sorts of people—not just where there are protests and rebellions 
 against oppression and injustice, but everywhere throughout 
 society—spreading the word about revolution and getting people together 
 (in real life and online) to grapple with why an actual revolution is 
 necessary, what such a revolution involves, and what kind of society this 
 is aiming for. This will enable people who are new to the revolution to 
 themselves become organizers for this revolution and to recruit more and 
 more people to do the same. On this basis, and through the growing ranks of 
 the revolution acting together as an increasingly powerful force, it will 
 be possible to attract and organize the necessary numbers, and build up the 
 necessary strength, to be in the position to do what needs to be 
 done.\n\n"We need to struggle hard with people to take up the orientation 
 and strategy, the values and goals, for this revolution, and dedicate 
 themselves to working for this revolution, while we unite growing numbers 
 to fight the abuse, brutality and destruction perpetrated by this system, 
 and through all this get thousands and then millions of people prepared and 
 steeled to do away with this system that brings so much hell to people. We 
 need to wield this growing revolutionary force to stand up to this system 
 and its murderous enforcers and to change the whole “terrain” (the 
 political, social and cultural situation and “atmosphere”) throughout 
 society, in order to weaken the hold of this system over people, win people 
 away from acting to strengthen and enforce this system, and create the best 
 possible conditions for this revolution to succeed."\n\nYou can read the
