BAsics is a book of quotations and short essays by Bob Avakian, a serious revolutionary leader and wide-ranging thinker. He is the leader of a party and a movement aiming to make revolution when the possibility opens up. In the words of Cornel West, Avakian "is a long distance runner in the freedom struggle against imperialism, racism and capitalism."
