brian bean speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by Rampant Magazine.

Today’s global capitalism is underpinned by the competition of many states, each of which deploys expanding carceral violence through prisons, borders, and policing. Consequently, the abolitionist project for liberation has been and must be an international one. This session will highlight revolutionary movements to abolish the police and capitalist states spanning four continents, from Egypt to Ireland to Mexico to Russia and beyond, pointing toward the glimmers of an Abolitionist International.

How Capitalism Kills: Social Murder and Covid-19
Nate Holdren, Artie Vierkant, and Abby Cartus speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by Death Panel.
https://www.deathpanel.net
Capitalism exploits not just the surplus labor of the working class; it also exploits our health. This panel will discuss Friedrich Engels’ concept of “social murder,” the structural forces within capitalism that abandon populations to injury, debility, and premature death. Marxist historian Nate Holdren is joined by co-hosts of the Death Panel podcast Artie Vierkant and Abby Cartus to discuss how “social murder” can be used to understand the politics inherent to things like workplace injuries and the capitalist normalization of covid-19, and how under capitalism, “social murder” is a feature, not a bug. Nate Holdren will participate in this session remotely.
