A Summer of Big Challenges and Intense Struggle
June 18, Tuesday, 7 p.m. 

Join us for a discussion of and important editorial from Revolution newspaper "A Summer of Big Challenges and Intense Struggle"

"As spring turns to summer, the situation in the world, and in this country, is very intense. There is potential for eruptions 'in the routine,' of one kind or another. We are seeing this right now in Turkey as massive struggle seemingly erupted “out of nowhere” and now the people must confront the force of the government and reaction. We are seeing it in a negative way in Syria, where the imperialists maneuver and intrigue in a horrific civil war, with unforeseeable and possibly explosive consequences. We may see this around Guantánamo, where the eyes of the world are on the hunger strikers standing up to America’s lawless torture dungeon. There is the quickening pace of natural disasters, aggravated by capitalism’s insanely heedless destruction of the environment—disasters which under this system almost inevitably give rise to dislocation, suffering, neglect, repression, and crisis." read entire article

BA Speaks:
REVOLUTION - NOTHING LESS!

A new section of the film shown every week at Revolution Books

June 20, Thurs. 7 p.m.
Disc 2, Chapter 4 : The Election Hustle: "If The Draw You In, They Win. Seizing on Contradictions of the System to Prepare for Revolution.”  
Government spying, the torture of prisoners in the U.S., new laws outlawing abortion, the trial of George Zimmerman who murdered Trayvon Martin, an intensifying world situation, the environmental crisis, and continuing repressive acts by the government are all part of a cauldron of contradictions that are happening in the world right now. This – the actual events in the world, the dynamics driving forward and giving rise to these events, and the potential within those events to develop in all kinds of different directions, including ones favorable to revolution – is the reality. This is the situation the movement for revolution confronts. We'll watch and discuss this section from the film.

***
Those this system has cast off, those it has treated as less than human, can be the backbone and driving force of a fight not only to end their own oppression, but to finally end all oppression, and emancipate all of humanity.
