Episode 166: The Communist Revolution Urgently Needed vs. The Anti-communist Brainwash, Plus Iran's Jina Uprising

Andy Zee introduces the show with a commentary on the urgent need for revolution – a real revolution, and the critical importance of the breakthroughs pioneered by Bob Avakian – a leader for a time when the future hangs in the balance  A powerful reading of a new pledge: ALLEGIANCE.  Raymond Lotta Fall Speaking Tour, "The Communist Revolution So Badly Needed... vs. the Anti-Communist Brainwash You're Getting." The tour started on September 19 at Revolution Books NYC. We'll hear part of the opening remarks. The Bob Avakian Interviews, Up Close and Personal, Heart and Soul & Hard-core for Revolution. We begin with an excerpt from these historic interviews, conducted last fall by Andy Zee and Sunsara Taylor for the RNL Show. In this clip, Bob Avakian, BA, talks about one of the hallmarks of the New Communism, uprooting the idea that the "end justifies the means." Then, Andy Zee and Sunsara Taylor discuss an exciting new initiative to address the fact that these interviews have not been seen by hundreds of thousands or millions of people, who are suffering under the system of capitalism-imperialism.  Finally, the one year anniversary of the Jina uprising, the uprising in Iran following the murder of Mahsa Jina Amini by the "morality police." This is the largest uprising of women in history.  On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH7o1gJ1awI
