Robin D.G. Kelley speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
Aimé Césaire cut through mythologies to show that fascism in Europe was no anomaly, it was the boomerang effect of brutal European colonialism abroad coming home. The fight against fascism cannot be successful without understanding powerful struggles against colonialism, from the 20th century to today.

Aaron Amaral, Kristen Guptill-Godfrey speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2026. This session was sponsored by Tempest.
If liberation could come from the government, it can be taken away again by that government. But there is a different approach to building socialism—from the bottom up. Strategies for creating socialism from below aim to inspire the creative participation of the multiracial working class through mass protests, long-term democratic organizing in rank-and-file unions, neighborhood-level organizations, and other working-class institutions. Join us to discuss recent examples of such efforts and their critical role in resisting authoritarianism and advancing the revolutionary transformation of society toward ecosocialism.

“Chimerica” is over. The twin titans of neoliberal globalization are now at loggerheads over everything from trade to high tech, geopolitical alliances, and military hegemony over the Asia Pacific. Today’s global slump, exacerbated by Trump’s disastrous war in Iran, has heightened this imperial rivalry. This panel will examine the roots of the conflict, its trajectory, and how the left can build international solidarity from below against it.

In 2026, we’re celebrating 25 years of publishing “Books for Changing the World.” In those 25 years, we’ve helped build critical space and infrastructure for radical ideas and movements on the left to grow.
