Leigh Claire La Berge speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
At the end of the last century, predictions about the destructive potential of the Y2K bug were everywhere. As the clocks ticked closer to the prophesied end-times, Capitalism—then in the rapturous throes of a global tech bubble—did what it does best: created a whole cottage industry of consultants dedicated not to preventing the apocalypse, but to ensuring the steady flow of profits. Join Leigh Claire La Berge as she dissects her time as one of these management consultants, offering an inside look at the absurd cultural and political economic consequences of Capitalism's singular focus on the bottom line.

Adam Vander Tuig and Joy James speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by the Highlander Center.
What are the “rebel chores,” the everyday educational, political, and spiritual commitments, that make revolutionary lovers? Often dismissed, what is the right relationship between spirituality and liberatory struggle? Can one be revolutionary without being religious? Concentrating on her upcoming book, Confronting Counterinsurgency: Cop Cities and Democracy’s Terrors, as well as many of her other recent works, political theorist Joy James engages these and other questions in dialogue with the Highlander Center’s faith-based educator and researcher Adam Vander Tuig.
