    brian bean, Kristen Godfrey, Natalia Tylim speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Tempest. A presidential election between Trump and whoever the Democrats thrust upon us is the latest expression of deepening social, political and constitutional crisis. What does it mean to understand these elections through the prism of the pressing need to organize and build forces capable of fighting for an alternative, socialist future to that offered by Genocide Joe (or his successor) and Donald the Dictator?

    Ilan Pappé speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. The radical Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine and a new edition of Ten Myths About Israel, will critically assess the myths and reality behind the state of Israel. From the false equation of Judaism with Zionism, to lies about Gaza, to the two state solution and more, equipping ourselves with historical knowledge is essential to solidarity with the struggle for Palestinian liberation.

    Save the Library, Save the World

    Emily Drabinski and Mariame Kaba speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Social Justice Initiative. The public library is an example of the world we want. Everything from books and media to cake pans and garden tools are held in common and shared equitably, expanding the public good and access to it. This is precisely why libraries are under attack, and why we must organize to win the library and, in turn, the world. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6.

    Settler Colonialism: An Introduction

    Sai Englert speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Pluto Books. Rich with their unique histories, characteristics, and social relations, Indigenous struggles across the world are connected by the shared enemy they face: settler colonialism. In this session, Sai Englert argues that settler colonial forms of domination and accumulation played a central role in the emergence of capitalism, and remain crucial in its reproduction and stabilisation today. Defeating settler colonialism is therefore also key to destroying the capitalist system as a whole. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6.

    11/12/2024

    Cooperatives, Socialized Power, and the Reproduction of Economic Alternatives

    Jonah Olsen and Hialy Gutierrez speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. We will discuss the radical potential and challenges of cooperatives to transform conditions both within their walls and within the communities in which they are embedded. We argue that, through practices responsive to and rooted in community context and socialist relations, cooperatives can contribute to community resilience and the reproduction of economic alterity.

    Unbuild Walls: Borders, Prisons, and Abolition

    Silky Shah, Harsha Walia, and Amna Akbar speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Detention Watch Network. As calls to abolish ICE, prisons and policing, and borders gain urgency in the U.S. and abroad, so too does the need to understand how these systems necessitate and sustain each other. Silky Shah and Harsha Walia, in conversation with Amna A. Akbar, will unpack why global migrant justice efforts require a PIC abolition analysis, and how this relates to bordering, migration, and capitalism more broadly.
