In a world at war, the times cry out for a new direction.The
existing left has been unable to speak to our times, let
alone provide real-world solutions. Activists, organizers and
dreamers have too often relied on old formulas from bygone
days. A serious, creative break needs to be made to escape
this impasse.

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow
and transformation of all existing social conditions.We are
open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. At
the same time, we will not shrink from what we do know: the
solutions cannot be found within an imperialist world order
or the choices it provides.We are for revolution.We seek to
find the forms of organization and action for the people
most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all
humanity.

To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate,
discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the
rapid changes shaping the world around us.We need to sum
up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts,
victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom
and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements.We need to
re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people
and move mountains.We need a movement that can listen, as
well as speak.

REVOLUTION: rethinking the unthinkable
We intend to identify those fault lines where radical thought
and action can emerge.We want to go deeply among the
people to prepare minds and organize forces for revolution;
for a global transformation of human life; for the urgent rescue
of the biosphere from capitalist destruction; for the radical
dismantling of the U.S. empire – its military, its nuclear
weapons and torture camps; for the uprooting of intolerable
racial inequalities and the archaic brutalities of male
supremacy; for the final liberation of humanity from the
restless, soulless rule of capitalist profit making!

Come walk with us. Help launch our new organizing and
theoretical projects. Let's reconceive as we regroup for the
coming storm. The end of this world is the beginning of the
new. Everything will change. How it changes is up to us.

WE are the ones we've been waiting for.

(I'd love to hear drosera and other RCPers label this 'economist'. Btw, this was handed out in masse by NYC Kasama during the SDS Convention there.)
