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.

Travel bans, ICE abductions and deportations of green card holders are nothing new for migrants in the sex industry. But their lives and struggles also offer us a blueprint for resisting surveillance, criminalization and the “good immigrant” vs “bad immigrant” division. Instead they inspire us to transform fear and uncertainty into creativity, power, empathy and noncompliance.
