► From the Cold War through today, the U.S. has quietly assisted dozens of regimes around the world in suppressing civil unrest and securing the conditions for the smooth operation of capitalism. Casting a new light on American empire, Badges Without Borders shows, for the first time, that the very same people charged with global counterinsurgency also militarized American policing at home. ► An economic, political, and bio-history of coffee: its role in the world capitalist economy...plunder and super-exploitation in El Salvador...caffeine, the "coffee-break," and regimenting labor. In 1889, a textile salesman from England, James Hill, moved to El Salvador, established a coffee plantation dynasty using methods from the Industrial Revolution, and helped turn a land of peasant farmers into perhaps the most intensive monoculture in modern history, a place of extraordinary productivity, inequality, and violence.

 Detail from "Harlem Timeline 2" by Willie Birch |
Because of Bob Avakian and the work he has done over several decades, summing up the positive and negative experience of the communist revolution so far, and drawing from a broad range of human experience, there is a new synthesis of communism that has been brought forward — there really is a viable vision and strategy for a radically new, and much better, society and world, and there is the crucial leadership that is needed to carry forward the struggle toward that goal.
