As the Guantanamo Hunger Strike enters its 6th month, Worthington talks about the horrors of forced feeding and the detainees' battle for freedom. As Nelson Mandela may be dying, many are discussing his role in bringing change. In an excerpt from "Revolution: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible and What It's All About," Avakian speaks to the question of why fundamental social change can't be brought about peacefully and why anyone claiming to be a leader of the oppressed must be viewed from a thoroughly scientific standpoint.
