Talk and Discussion on “The Social Basis for Revolution”
Drawing from Bob Avakian’s “Ruminations and Wranglings – On the Importance of Marxist Materialism, Communism as a Science, Meaningful Revolutionary Work, and a Life with Meaning”
What kind of revolution are we talking about?
Is there a social force in the world today that has a fundamental interest in uprooting all oppressive relations?
****************
“The communist revolution is a radically different revolution from all previous ones, in that it is made in the interests of, and fundamentally by, the class — that is, the proletariat — whose interests lie not simply in changing positions within society (let alone just changing some faces) but in radically transforming society to abolish all economic, social and political relations, and all ideas and culture, which embody and enforce exploitation and oppression—not just in one place or one part of the world, but throughout the world as a whole. It involves and requires the advance to a society, a world, not divided into classes and into oppressors and oppressed, a communist society and world.”
