You look out and see a world of war, poverty, and looming environmental catastrophe. You think about justice and human possibility, of how to live a life that matters, that can contribute to a qualitatively better world.

But you have been lied to-systematically and pervasively-about the actual possibility and path to getting such a world. You have been lied to about the real history of revolution-in the Soviet Union 1917-56 and in China 1949-76 with the most important experience thus far, the Cultural Revolution. You have been lied to about the actual promise of communism. And we can prove it.

Raymond Lotta has the facts on what actually has been accomplished-and he also an understanding to share of where these revolutions fell short and erred, and how humanity can do better the next time around.with the new synthesis of Bob Avakian.

At the University of Chicago, some 300 students packed a lecture hall to hear and engage with Raymond Lotta. In order to be true to your own aspirations and principles, you need to at a minimum acquaint yourself with what Raymond Lotta has to say, and grapple with the challenges he is raising.

This is a special opportunity to learn about and to debate communism's past, present, and future with this unique speaker. Bring your most deeply felt concerns and toughest questions. And for those who want to defend the system, you need to be there too-because Raymond Lotta is taking on all comers.

Raymond Lotta is a revolutionary intellectual who takes Bob Avakian's new synthesis on revolution and communism as his foundation. He has written and lectured extensively on issues of the world economy and the experience of socialist revolution in the 20th century.
