The Handmaid's Tale - Watch-Discuss-Act Friday 7pm 8-31-18

In the near future, fascist military officers, seizing on a crisis triggered by declining fertility rates and using an alleged terrorist attack as a pretext, take power in most of what was the United States. They establish the "Republic of Gilead," a theocracy in which biblical law and patriarchal values-as updated and interpreted by the new rulers-are increasingly imposed.  Women are assigned strict roles-some bear children, some do household work, some heavy and dangerous labor.

This is the world of The Handmaid's Tale, an original TV series which first aired in 2017.  It  is fiction... sort of,  based on the novel by Margaret Atwood. Revolution Books invites you to watch some of this series and join in discussion about the film and about acting to STOP this fiction from becoming a reality. 

Revolutionary Communism vs. "Democratic Socialism" 7pm Tuesday 8-28-18

August 28, Tuesday
Discussion:

Revolutionary Commmunism 

vs. 

"Democratic Socialism"

Democratic socialists-at their "most radical"-want to "redistribute the wealth"

within the U.S. But think for a minute: Where does this great wealth come from? All the riches and resources piled up by capitalist-imperialist America have come, and come in large part, first from slavery and the theft of land domestically, and from its relentless economic, political, and military domination of the masses of people all over the world...

Without a revolution that overthrows the whole system of capitalism-imperialism, all you're doing is redistributing spoils and plunder atop this food chain, leaving intact the vast exploitative and oppressive economic and social relations that underlie this, crushing lives and destroying spirits. Fuck that. Only an internationalist revolution-one that immediately ends the U.S.'s exploitative economic relations and military dominance around the world, and views the newly liberated territory as a base area for revolution worldwide-is worth making. And only a society committed to that principle and outlook can stay on the road to an emancipated world.
