Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Avakian

Brad and Abbey Zerbo tear into the scripted hysteria behind the latest anti-Trump protests, complete with handouts, talking points, and zero comprehension. With on-the-ground clips of confused demonstrators and deep dives into the shady funding network behind groups like Indivisible and ActBlue, the duo exposes how Democrats are orchestrating a campaign of emotional manipulation and mob programming under the guise of “resistance.” They unpack the radical rhetoric of Bob Avakian's revolution-pushing pamphlets, which label half of Americans as fascists and call for insurrection outside of the electoral process. Brad and Abbey lay bare the real agenda: collapse the system to usher in globalist control. From the absurdity of “peaceful” protestors screaming in robotic chants to the true story of a female fencer disqualified for refusing to fight a biological male, this episode hits every cultural fault line. And on a hopeful note, they spotlight Nicole Shanahan and RFK Jr.'s announcement that HHS will investigate geoengineering and chemtrails, along with coming scrutiny of fluoride in U.S. water systems. Packed with humor, righteous anger, and well-earned “I told you so's,” this is Brad & Abbey at their best: informing, exposing, and empowering in equal measure.

This text analyzes the claims of Bob Avakian's “New Synthesis,” the line of the RCP-USA party and its cultish degeneration. Against Avakianism is a powerful and systematic debunking of the idea promoted by Avakian that Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is outdated. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/foreign-languages-press/support

Two years after the creation of the Black Panther Party, Eldridge Cleaver's prison writings were published as SOUL ON ICE. He became the party's Minister of Information, but would soon have a falling out with Huey P. Newton over tactics and ideology. In ArtiFact #47, authors Alex Sheremet and Keith Jackewicz break down the text, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses, as Alex explains why it was so critical for his own intellectual development in high school.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Aaron J. Leonard joins us to discuss the new revised and updated edition of his and Conor A. Gallagher book Heavy Radicals: The FBI's Secret War on America's Maoists: The Revolutionary Union/Revolutionary Communist Part 1968-1980. We delve into the radical left-wing politics of the late 1960s into the 1970s and the influence of Mao Tse-Tung's variant on communist thought on American radicals as well as how revolutionary groups in the U.S. applied theory and praxis in their operations at the time. This leads us into discussions of figures like H. Bruce Franklin as well as the infamous Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (RCP). It is well-known that the post-WWII era saw the intelligence community become very concerned about radical left-wing politics, specifically the activities of communist groups, in the U.S. during the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Much has been made of J. Edgar Hoover, the House on Un-American Activities Committee, and COINTELPRO in this regard. But Aaron specifically focuses on the FBI's counterintelligence operations against Maoist groups. We discuss the "dirty tricks" that were used against these groups by the FBI at this time. We discuss FBI informant recruiting in the time as well as the specific players involved in activities against U.S.-based Maoist groups. Aaron names names and gives insight into FBI actions against left-wing radical groups in the United States post-Hoover. Additionally Aaron and I discuss the Black Panthers, the media vs. radical activities, the labor movement, conspiracy theories vs. systemic analysis, the evangelical couple that sought to help the FBI by infiltrating the Revolutionary Union, W. Mark Felt (the man who confessed to being "Deep Throat" in the Nixon-era Watergate saga in 2005), the FBI report that referred to the RCP as a "threat of the first magnitude" to the U.S., the concept of the deep state and why Aaron believes there is just the State rather than deep state, the JFK Records Act and how the files released from that has value beyond the questions surrounding the Kennedy assassination itself (ie: files on Fred Hampton, Bob Dylan, etc.), how do you read and evaluate FBI files?, the Fair Play for Cuba Committe, the CIA and Richard Gibson (Codename: Sugar), Donald Wright, why is Maoism neglected when looking at the history of the New Left?, COINTELPRO and the Ad Hoc Commitee, the FBI's war against radical folk musicians and Aaron's latest books Whole World in an Uproar: Music, Rebellion and Repression – 1955-1972 and The Folk Singers and the Bureau: The FBI, the Folk Artists and the Suppression of the Communist Party, USA-1939-1956, Pete Seeger and the radical nature of much 20th century folk music, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and what Aaron refers to as the "soft revocation" of FOIA, and more.

Legal analyst and former federal and state prosecutor Elie Honig discusses what we know about the January 6th insurrection and any chances for real accountability (hint: the DOJ/Merrick Garland would have to take action and there is zero indication that they are going to do so). In addition to watching him on CNN, you can follow on Twitter @eliehonig, read his book Hatchet Man: How Bill Barr Broke the Prosecutor's Code and Corrupted the Justice Department and listen to his podcast Up Against the Mob. Mentioned in this episode Andy Zee in Conversation with Paul Street on The Revolution Nothing Less Show: Two Separate Nations: Developments in the State of Fascism and How That Is Shaping the Political Situation Gregg Gonsalves: COVID, Public Health & U.S. Mythology Fascist Mobs: 1850 to Today Wajahat Ali: The Death March of White Supremacy Holocaust Survivor: It Could Happen Here Meanwhile After the Virginia election, everyone who's not a fascist seems to be playing the blame game over electoral strategy. But fascism's advance runs deeper. As this week's elections in VA show, Republicans don't have to cheat to win. The danger is real that Republican legislatures in states like Arizona, Georgia, Texas erect enough barriers to the ballot and destroy enough democratic norms their party simply cannot lose a close race. Freespeechforthepeople.org is urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to resign from his post after nine months of inaction to hold Trump and his allies accountable for inciting the January 6th insurrection and other federal crimes they may have committed. It's good that people are refusing to accept this accommodation to fascism. That said, it's time for people to recognize that it isn't just one or another individual doing this - but that ‘democratic' norms, institutions, and the Democratic Party can't be relied on to handle this threat. As revolutionary leader Bob Avakian has aptly stated, “The Democrats are committed to 'playing by the rules' and 'relying on the norms' of 'democratic' capitalist dictatorship, while the Republicans are moving to tear up those norms and rule through an open, undisguised capitalist dictatorship.” Send your comments about the Refuse Fascism podcast to samanthagoldman@refusefascism.org or @SamBGoldman.

A panel discussion presented by Refuse Fascism and The RNL – Revolution, Nothing Less! – Show, originally streamed live Wednesday, December 16. The Situation: Nearly 300,000 people in this country have died from COVID under a science-hating, genocidally racist, lunatic fascist regime, with the virus now out of control and thousands more projected to die before Trump leaves office. The Trump/Pence regime, the Republi-fascists, and their rabid base spread COVID as a matter of “liberty” – the liberty to infect and kill others. Trump recovers from COVID with the best healthcare in the world and then tells his overwhelmingly white followers at a campaign rally in Minnesota that they have “good genes.” The regime's COVID response concentrates many of the features of this fascist program – white supremacy, xenophobia, Christian fascism, and unhinged conspiracy theories. Some Questions: How did we get to this point? Why have we tolerated a regime that has facilitated the deaths of 300,000 people, disproportionately Black and brown people? Is this deliberate mass murder or “collateral damage” in service of a fascist or fundamentalist worldview? How do we wage a society-wide struggle for truth, science, and evidence-based epistemology? Panelists: Coco Das, Editorial Board of RefuseFascism.org Dr. Phil Rice, Emergency Medicine Physician, Salem, Massachusetts Paul Street, historian and writer, author of Hollow Resistance: Obama, Trump, and the Politics of Appeasement, member of the editorial board of RefuseFascism.org Andy Zee, host of The RNL – Revolution Nothing Less – Show; co-initiator of RefuseFascism.org; spokesperson for Revolution Books. RefuseFascism.org is a movement of people coming from diverse perspectives, united in our recognition that the Trump/Pence Regime poses a catastrophic danger to humanity and the planet, and that it is our responsibility to drive them from power through non-violent protests that grow every day until our demand is met. The RNL -- Revolution, Nothing Less -- Show is a multidimensional YouTube show about making revolution and emancipating humanity. It's about the world and for a radically different world, bringing alive the need for revolution and the new communism developed by the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian.

BLACK people  who served time for Crime, still paying the price Today when freed There will never be a revolutionary movement in this country that doesn't fully unleash and give expression to the sometimes openly expressed, sometimes expressed in partial ways, sometimes expressed in wrong ways, but deeply, deeply felt desire to be rid of these long centuries of oppression [of Black people]. There's never gonna be a revolution in this country, and there never should be, that doesn't make that one key foundation of what it's all about. Bob Avakian, Chairman of the  Revolutionary Communist Party, USA,  A growing number of states are pushing inmates out of prison in early release programs designed to reduce overcrowding and save money. But faced with a tight job market and few employers willing to hire someone with a criminal record, many former inmates are likely to end up right back behind bars. Last month, California began releasing prisoners deemed at low risk for re-offending. Colorado, Oregon, Kentucky and Connecticut, all wracked with budgetary issues, have instituted similar moves as a way to cut costs, while others, including Michigan and Mississippi, are considering similar initiatives.

There's never gonna be a revolution in this country, and there never should be, that doesn't make that one key foundation of what it's all about. Bob Avakian, Chairman of the  Revolutionary Communist Party, USA,  A growing number of states are pushing inmates out of prison in early release programs designed to reduce overcrowding and save money.
