What Can Students Achieve? Analyzing the Possibilities and Limits of the Student Intifada

This session was recorded at Socialism 2025 and sponsored by National Students for Justice in Palestine.

Positioning universities as features of imperialism’s superstructure, we give an assessment of the Student Intifada’s strategy, tactics, and its impact on advancing the broader anti-Imperialist struggle. We’ll define the historic tasks of the Palestinian student movement and the Left as we continue the struggle for Palestinian freedom.

This session was sponsored by Marx21 Germany.

In the March elections, the Left Party made a surprising comeback. At the same time, the far-right AfD is now leading in the polls - especially among workers and low-income voters. With the new Merz government pushing austerity and militarization, the urgent question is: how should the left in Germany respond to this political landscape?

Hubert Harrison: Forbidden Genius of Black Radicalism

Brian Kwoba and Robin D.G. Kelley speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.

Hubert Harrison, the “father of Harlem radicalism,” blazed a trail for Black organizers in the Socialist Party. His Liberty League of Negro Americans catalyzed the rise of Marcus Garvey and the largest international organization of Black people in history. And he defended free love. Because of his radicalism, however, Harrison’s visionary legacy has been erased from popular memory. Until now.

Political Education 1: Basics of Materialist Analysis

This session was sponsored by B-REAL Academy, Center for Political Education, Claudia Jones School, KC Defender, Highlander Center, and W.E.B. Du Bois Movement School.

Marxism isn't just about applying concepts to the world, it's about analyzing the world around us in a materialist way: looking at the way things are made, where and how people live, and who holds the power. This workshop will provide an introduction to materialist analysis before guiding participants in activities geared toward analyzing contemporary reality to ask what we're up against and how we can fight it.
