The Escalating Combat Between the U.S. and Iran, the Danger of More Catastrophic War, and the Outmoded System Driving This Madness and Threatening Humanity
FASCIST CRUELTY AND ATTACK ON EMPATHY VS. THE NEW COMMUNIST VIEW OF EMPATHY
by Bob Avakian
Donald Trump holds a cage-fighting spectacle on the grounds of the White House (where, not coincidentally, one of the main participants attacks Michelle Obama in crudely racist, sexist and homophobic terms). This is the same Donald Trump who called on police to treat people more roughly when arresting them. The same Donald Trump who, during his first run for president, called on his supporters to physically attack protesters at his rallies—and who boasted that if he murdered someone in plain sight in New York City, his supporters would continue to support him.
“WOKE” IS A DESTRUCTIVE FORCE in the political, intellectual, artistic and ethical life of society
Bizarre and capricious rules enforced by cancel culture threats. Puffed-up unscientific claims to “represent the marginalized.” Insisting that people “stay in their lanes” in fighting oppression. “Woke” lunacy manifests much that is harmful with the capitalist-imperialist system and its dominant culture, furthering the nightmare of humanity!
