In these dangerous times, a speaking tour of revolutionary communists is set to hit the road, spreading revolution and communism and challenging those at the bottom of society to step forward and become emancipators of humanity.

Is revolution really possible? What does it mean to emancipate all of humanity and what does that have to do with Black people’s experience of slavery and oppression, which continues down to today? Why is communism the answer and what does it mean for people to be communists and to get involved in a communist movement?

What kind of leadership do we need? How do you judge revolutionary leadership? Is it based on nationality or should it be based on a vision of where we need to go and what we need to do to get out of this nightmare and bring into reality our dreams of a better world?

Is communism a European ideology? Are Black people too much into religion to be attracted to communism? What about spirituality: is it true that communism is cold and devoid of soul?

These are all big questions. And the RC4 Tour is ready to bring revolutionary science to get into all this and more—with no holds barred!

Who are the RC4 Speakers?

Joe Veale is the Spokesperson for the Los Angeles Branch of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) and a veteran of the Black Panther Party.

Carl Dix is the National Spokesperson for the RCP. In 1970 he was one of six active duty GIs at Fort Lewis who refused orders to Vietnam.

Akil Bomani is a member of the Chicago Writers and Artists Collective and a correspondent to Revolution newspaper. He speaks powerfully to how he became a revolutionary communist in his article, "Losing My Religion."

Clyde Young became a revolutionary—leading prison rebellions and other political activities—while serving a lengthy prison sentence. Upon his release from prison, he met RCP Chairman Bob Avakian and recognized in him unique and special qualities as a leader.

The July 23rd kick-off of the Tour in Los Angeles is part of a national tour that includes stops in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Atlanta.
