Revolution Books, a not-for-profit, all-volunteer leftist bookstore in Honolulu, Hawaii, has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise $10,000 by March 20. According to the Indiegogo page, Revolution Books needs the money to "pay down debts, meet increasing costs of overhead, and expand our stock of progressive books that speak to current events and trends as well [as] revolutionary literature that puts forward a vision of the world as it COULD be."
Since opening in 1976, Revolution Books Honolulu has served the University of Hawaii as well as activist communities in Honolulu. The store's political philosophy draws heavily from the work and ideology of Bob Avakian, activist and chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. Revolution Books's inventory spans "books on history and political theory, novels and poetry, atheism and science, world geopolitics and philosophy," and the store hosts discussion forums, author readings, open-mics, film screenings and other events.
