The RCP's new Revolution newspaper for May 1st is now available online... redesigned for the intense days ahead with a new look and a hard-edged approach. Its opening editorial says: "On this occasion of the May 1st holiday—we in the Revolutionary Communist Party are proud to introduce the first issue of Revolution newspaper! What you have in your hands is no ordinary newspaper. This newspaper is the voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party,USA and exists for no other reason than to play a role in the emancipation of humanity." We need to go deep among the people with a vision of a radical new society! We need a paper that intensely takes on everything that is happening, ripping open the crimes of this system and the intense machinations of the Christian-fascists who are grabbing for power. As that editorial says: "Today, at the very moment we are haunted by a new "Dark Ages" mentality, the communist project is going through a Renaissance, as Bob Avakian has reimagined the process of socialist revolution." And this new newspaper is now in your hands! "Revolution has very ambitious plans—we plan to change the world! Corresponding to the radical future we aim to bring into being we see the role of a newspaper like this as critical. In times like these, the need for such a newspaper takes on an even greater role. And Revolution will assume even greater importance as the revolutionary situation develops, when people in their millions will be looking for guidance on how to live and how to die, and when the changing shape of public opinion will have very direct implications for the timing of a revolutionary uprising." So the first thing is to check out that editorial: http://rwor.org/a/001/may-first-revolution.htm And then, the RCP has called for a major effort to kick out this newspaper into every corner and sphere. There is a major effort to distribute 100,000 copies of Revolution and 5,000 copies of Bob Avakian's DVD "sampler." And we can do something similar online. Here are some key features to dig into: first: this new issue itself: http://rwor.org/home-e.htm a mini-look at the front page: http://rwor.org/i/logos/rev01en.jpg The REvolution newspaper is also continuing to requist your input for changes in look and style.
