Background information: "On January 29, 1979, RCP Chairman Bob Avakian rose to address hundreds of Maoist revolutionaries in Washington, D.C. … Deng [Xiaoping] was in Washington to cement a close new alliance with U.S. imperialism … At the 1979 Deng demonstration, Chairman Avakian had been arrested, along with others who became known as the Mao Tsetung Defendants. And the government threatened him with several lifetimes in prison on trumped-up charges--forcing him into exile in 1980." (Avakian, Bob. (1997). The Towering Crimes of Deng Xiaoping. Revolutionary Worker #896. Retrieved from http://rwor.org/a/firstvol/890-899/896/dengba.htm)
Note on date: Although 1972 is penciled on the document, this flier could not have been created before "Teng Hsaio Ping" [Deng Xiaoping] visited Washington D.C. in 1979. |
