Aman Bardia, Maithreyi Rajeshkumar, Raza Gillani, Mohiba Ahmed speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by SALAM.

What role can and should the diaspora play in left organizing? How do diaspora groups stay accountable to the communities they find themselves in the US, and stay connected and build international solidarity with movements in the Global South? This panel will look at the role of diaspora from South Asia as a point of departure to explore the potential for local and internationalist mobilization from the left.

Socialist Internationalism Comes From Below

Promise Li, Andrea Sempértegui, and Shiyam Galyon speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2022. This session was sponsored by Internationalism From Below. https://www.facebook.com/intlfrombelow This panel will diagnose the disturbing rise of an authoritarian tankie/campist orientation on the Left today—one that rationalizes, sugarcoats, and defends repressive and murderous regimes in the name of a convoluted “anti-imperialist” posture—and will explore an emerging alternative vision of solidarity—an internationalism from below/internationalism of the oppressed.

Ben Davis speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2022. “Culture war” is everywhere today as a concept, on the right and left. This talk looks at the concept’s origin in the late ‘80s at the end of the Cold War, and its contemporary renaissance, as a way to clarify what role this framing of politics has in today’s debates.
