Will capitalism last forever, and what comes next? What is socialism? Is it even possible? Why do socialists seem to talk so much about the working class? What can we do to begin affecting change right now?
You’re invited to tackle these questions and many others with us at Introduction to Socialism: Class, the State, and Parties, the inaugural course from the Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education. Over nine sessions we’ll be looking at the history of socialist organizing, the role of the working class, where the state fits in the struggle for socialism, what role working class political parties play, and many other ideas key to the socialist tradition.
The course will not only provide a unique venue for collectively learning about these topics, but also a welcoming space where any question relevant to socialist activism, no matter how basic or advanced, can be raised and discussed. While the course is aimed at those who may have only begun coming across socialist ideas fairly recently, those with varying experience with left activism are welcome to participate.
