OK, Trump, What Was America Built For?
| revcom.us
“America was not built to be shut down.”—Donald Trump, March 23, calling for people to “pack the churches” on Easter
Then what was America “built to” do?
If you looked at the history and the present-day reality of America, you would have to think that it was built to exterminate 90 percent of the Native American Indians who lived here and dispossess and oppress those who somehow survived.
If you looked at the history and present-day reality of America, you would have to think it was built to kidnap millions of people, enslave them in unspeakable conditions for generations, and then continue to suck their blood and hold them down in new ways when the slavery ended.
You would have to think it was built to invade and plunder other countries, to murder people by the tens of millions in wars, invasions, and occupations, and to suck the blood and steal the resources of those who remained.
You would have to think it was built to enable a relative handful of capitalist-imperialists to exploit billions all over the world and right here, turning their labor into profit and then throwing them aside when they were no longer useful.
You would have to think that it was built to subjugate women, to invent new forms of humiliation and degradation, and to demonize all those who did not “fit in” to the sexual roles it decreed.
You would have to think that it was built to plunder and destroy the web of nature in an insane drive for profit, profit, and ever more profit.
“America first”? Screw you, you vicious, dangerous moron. We need a world beyond America and everything it stands for, a world of freely cooperating human beings.
We need revolution and communism.

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
