Noura Erakat speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.
Since the early 20th century, Palestinians have leveled a racial and anti-colonial critique of Zionism. That critique crystallized vividly during the apex of Third World Revolt particularly in the UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 condemning Zionism as a form of racism and racial discrimination. While the Oslo Agreement offered Israel a lifeline to protect its Zionist settler sovereignty, the State incrementally and steadily dismantled the prospect of a Palestinian state. In 2020, several legacy human rights organizations echoed the Palestinian critique of Israel following Israel’s passage of the Nation-State Law declaring that only Jews have the right to self-determination in Palestine making clear that Israel intended to be the only sovereign between the River and the Sea. This history and analysis seemed to fall by the wayside after October 7th, which lifted Gaza outside of geographical and political context and suggested that history began in 2023. This lecture will discuss this historical development with an eye on the Palestinian intellectual and political tradition in order to offer commentary on the limits of international law in this moment.

John Brown and the Revolutionary Response to Slavery
David Whitehouse speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2023.
John Brown's 1859 raid on the arsenal at Harper's Ferry helped precipitate the Civil War. Brown’s radicalism didn’t come out of nowhere. This talk will trace some of the connections between the multiracial militant wing of the northern abolition movement and the struggles of enslaved Black revolutionaries to emancipate themselves.

This growing surveillance apparatus, one that furthers a project of global apartheid, extends into Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and beyond. Join organizers and advocates across borders to discuss the implications of this infrastructure and the development of transnational strategies of resistance.

Care - The Highest Stage Of Capitalism
Premilla Nadasen and Jessica Stites speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by
Since the earliest days of the pandemic, care work has been thrust into the national spotlight. The notion of care can seem simple enough. But, as Premilla Nadasen and Jessica Stites will discuss, we have only begun to understand the massive role it plays in our lives as a site of economic extraction: from its roots in racial capitalism, where historically there was no clear division between production and social reproduction, to the present care crisis, experienced acutely by more and more Americans.

Anti-Blackness, Haiti, and the Migration Industrial Complex
Guerline Jozef speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2023.
Migration, the search for life, is a human right and key social justice issue, but while those with the right passports and wealth can migrate, borders dehumanize and kill people fleeing for their lives from places like Haiti, Somalia, and Cameroon. The fight for migrant justice must take on the anti-Blackness central to bordering regimes in the US and around the world.

That humanity cannot resolve anthropogenic ecological crises without radically restructuring social relations is a consensus shared by the degrowth movement and revolutionary socialism. In this panel, we discuss converging and diverging theoretical imperatives and strategies among radical environmental activists in order to enrich and strengthen our collective struggle for an ecosocialist future.

Legitimacy, Accountability, and Belonging in the U.S. Settler State
Dina Gilio-Whitaker speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2023.
The concern for injustice toward non-white European people distinguishes the left from the right in the United States. Dina Gilio-Whitaker discusses genocidal dispossession of Native lands as the U.S.’s “original sin” which Americans have yet to fully reckon with, and how justice can lead to a sense of legitimate belonging for all non-Indigenous people.
