Red Legacy in China

Our soul-mates at Rev Books are carrying on the fight against historical revisionism and for continuous revolution. I do apologize that this is posted after the event was held :(

Revolution Books is excited to announce the first of two discussions of the just published interview with Bob Avakian: "The Cultural Revolution in China... Art and Culture... Dissent and Ferment... and Carrying Forward the Revolution Toward Communism" February 22, Wednesday, 7pm at Revolution Books The Cultural Revolution of 1966-76 led by Mao Tsetung was the high point of the first stage of communist revolution. But it met defeat. How to sum up the achievements, problems, and setbacks of this first stage--so that we can go further and do better in initiating a new stage of communist revolution--is a critical component of Bob Avakian's new synthesis of communism. The interview with Avakian is a wide-ranging and nuanced analysis of the Cultural Revolution. Raymond Lotta will be leading Wednesday night's discussion. Come out and be part of digging into this inteview. Bring your questions and raise your understanding of the Cultural Revolution...this pivotal chapter in the struggle for human emancipation. The second discussion will be taking place on Tuesday, March 6 at 7:00 pm (taking up the role of art under socialism).
