PART 1 QUESTION LIST:

** What will it take for masses of white people to break from white supremacy? What is it going to take to convince Black people, and other people of color, that the Revolutionary Communist Party is not simply like the Democratic Party, really a white supremacist party?
[00:30]

** Under socialism, will there be space for autonomous communities that are self-organized and voluntary?
[29:49]

** Given the risks, and taking into account the fear in the community, how much should undocumented immigrants contribute to this movement?
[36:37]

** What is our strategy against state repression – like dealing with what was done to the Black Panther Party? How do we prevent the same thing happening even before we get to a revolutionary situation?
[45:00]

** How can we be silent on the brutality towards animals when factory farming and meat production is not only barbaric but is contributing to the destruction of the Earth?
[1:00:36]

** Questions on revolutionary strategy:
- Would the U.S. have to become a 'failed state' for the revolution to have a chance?
- What is your timeframe for revolution, if you have one?
- Do you see a role for US military forces joining with the forces for revolution, in a revolutionary situation?
