Plutocracy's Tool: Television 
"Contrary to public opinion, the purpose of commercial television is not to inform the people with information that is relevant to their lives. It is to substitute fantasy for reality, lies for truth; entertainment for knowledge. The programming that most of us watch is not the primary purpose of television. Commercials—capitalism—are the primary reason for the existence of television. Even public television is not immune from heavy-handed manipulation from the Whitehouse and corporation...

Bob Avakian on Richard Pryor Recently I was reading reports of police assaults on Black people and of Black people fighting against the police in Memphis and Miami. This called to mind a story I was told a while back. A rookie cop was riding in his police car with his veteran partner when a report came in that there was a Black man in the vicinity with a gun. As their car screeched around the corner, a young Black man suddenly appeared sprinting up an alley--into a dead end. "Shoot him!", the older cop screamed...

Conflict Within the Peace Movement Those of us who put effort in working for peace, justice and harmony, may find ourselves exhibiting the very opposite of these values. Within volunteer groups, there is sometimes hostility, infighting, and even threats and violence. We are often so sure that we're right, that we become authoritarian.
