As Trump persecutes migrants, trans people, and other scapegoats, the left faces a choice: echo his anti-woke populism, or fight for collective liberation. This session will look at the dangers of antisemitic, conspiracist politics in movements across the political spectrum – and how we keep the focus on capitalism, not cabals.
