Michael A. McCarthy speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
If you’re a socialist, what do you know about democratic planning? Socialism isn't bigger state bureaucracies, endless meetings, or even turning out votes. Instead, it is empowering ordinary people to have a greater say over the institutions that affect us all. Join social theorist Michael A. McCarthy to explore how the working class can be empowered by introducing new forms of democracy into our most important investment decisions.

Zhandarka Kurti, Jarrod Shanahan, and Jack Norton speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
Join scholars and organizers Zhandarka Kurti and Jarrod Shanahan for a damning account of mass incarceration that reveals how progressive forces in New York City appropriated the rhetoric of social movements and social justice to promise “downsized” and “humane" jails. The story at the heart of their book, Skyscraper Jails, is at once a case study and a cautionary tale for what will be coming to cities and towns across the United States and beyond.

In a world unraveling under capitalism, climate catastrophe, and state violence, how do we build real care and solidarity? Dean Spade will discuss approaches to survival and resistance explored in his books Love in a F*cked Up World, Mutual Aid, and Normal Life—breaking through denial, confronting rising fascism, unlearning liberalism’s grip on our politics, rejecting the false promises of reform, and the urgent need to organize outside and against the state in order to cultivate community care in the face of collapse.
