We need a revolution! Watch Bob Avakian imagine a viable and vibrant new society in which people will be able to carry the revolution forward to emancipate all humanity — in this 5-video YouTube playlist, “Imagine a New Socialist Society in North America.”

These are excerpts from Bob Avakian’s Revolution talk. Avakian is a visionary communist thinker and revolutionary leader. He is the author of many books and articles. He is the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. And he is more than that: he’s an innovative and critical thinker who has taken Marxism to a new place; he’s a provocative commentator on everything from basketball to religion, doo-wop music to science; and he’s a pit-bull fighter against oppression who’s kept both his solemn sense of purpose and his irrepressible sense of humor.
