Shake Up and Wake Up the Campus - Thurs., 8/25, 7 PM

"A Plan to Shake Up and  Wake Up the Campus" 100,000 Run of a Special Issue on BAsics Thursday, Aug. 25th, 7 PM    Come Thursday evening to discuss the Special Issue of Revolution newspaper and a bold plan to shake up and wake up the campus! "This is the agonizing irony of the time we live in: never has the need for communist revolution seemed more acute; never has the vision and planfor such a revolution been more viable; the leadership for such a revolution is there; but never has the prospect of revolution itself seemed more distant to people in their masses. As it was put in a speech at conferences on this campaign over a year ago, "This revolution - the REAL revolution, the communist revolution - is fighting for its life.  That's right, fighting for its life. And not just to survive, as some kind of abstract hope that might as well be a religion - but to survive and grow as a real contending force, increasingly mobilizing people to fight the power, and preparing people to SEIZE the power as part of conquering and transforming the whole world." "...One major potential pathway for change is BAsics. . . On August 23, we will be publishing a special 8-page all-color issue of the paper that will introduce people to BAsics.  The issue will focus on quotes from BAsics, and quotes from different people who have read BAsics and have something to say about it.  We will print 100,000 of these and take the next several weeks--with a major emphasis on the weeks from August 24 to September 7-- to get them out in a massive way, mainly focused on college campuses, though with some emphasis as well on high schools. We plan to get these out for free, saturating areas and jump-starting a process whereby tens of thousands of youth are introduced to Bob Avakian--raw and uncut--and where different levels of engagement with what he's all about and what he has to say can get underway. One big part of this must be a significant number of actual sales of BAsics itself, so that people's engagement can deepen and grow richer over time." Read the whole article...
