We need to go deep among the people with a vision of a radical new society! We
need a paper that intensely takes on everything that is happening, ripping open
the crimes of this system and the intense machinations of the Christian-fascists
who are grabbing for power.
As that editorial says: "Today, at the very moment we are haunted by a
new "Dark Ages" mentality, the communist project is going through a
Renaissance, as Bob Avakian has reimagined the process of socialist
revolution."
And this new newspaper is now in your hands!
"Revolution has very ambitious plansâ€â€we plan to change the world!
Corresponding to the radical future we aim to bring into being we see the role
of a newspaper like this as critical. In times like these, the need for such a
newspaper takes on an even greater role. And Revolution will assume even greater
importance as the revolutionary situation develops, when people in their
millions will be looking for guidance on how to live and how to die, and when
the changing shape of public opinion will have very direct implications for the
timing of a revolutionary uprising."
So the first thing is to check out that editorial: http://rwor.org/a/001/may-first-revolution.htm
And then, the RCP has called for a major effort to kick out this newspaper into
every corner and sphere. There is a major effort to distribute 100,000 copies of
Revolution and 5,000 copies of Bob Avakian's DVD "sampler."
And we can do something similar online.
Here are some key features to dig into:

Obviously of great importance is a prominent piece entitled: If You Want to

itself!)
