Report Back from Dr. Tiller's Funeral

Come hear the first hand experience of Tracie Stern from Revolution Books Atlanta who joined others from around the country to attend Dr. Tiller's funeral in Wichita last weekend. When Dr. George Tiller was murdered by an anti-abortion assassin on May 30, it was a huge loss to women everywhere and to everyone who values women's freedom. Like the banner that currently hangs on the fence of his clinic reads:
Thank you Dr. Tiller for 35 years of saving women's lives.

RUMINATIONS AND WRANGLINGS
On the Importance of Marxist Materialism, Communism as a Science, Meaningful Revolutionary Work, and a Life with Meaning
Part 3 "And This Semblance Seduces the Democrats"
(Available in Revolution #165)
By Bob Avakian,
Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA


We are continuing this series with the third excerpt from the text of a talk by Bob Avakian, earlier this year, which is being serialized in Revolution, beginning with issue #163.
Some questions to consider:

What is giving rise to the view often expressed these days under Obama that it is a time for healing and not a time for conflict?

Even though some individuals can change their social class status within a capitalist society, why is it the exploited masses as a whole cannot do so?

Why do so many people believe things are the way they are because of "human nature"?
The entire talk can be found online at http://revcom.us/avakian/ruminations/BA-ruminations-en.html
