Ukraine and the Struggle Against the Global Right

Blanca Missé, Ilya Matveev, and Zakhar Popovych speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Ukraine Solidarity Network. Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s effort to deny its national existence is a critical dimension of the global fight against imperialism and fascism. At a moment when the far-Right is increasingly allying itself with Putin’s white nationalist agenda, solidarity with Ukraine’s fight for self-determination takes on renewed importance. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.

Anne Rumberger and Mary Bowman speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by Lux Magazine. https://lux-magazine.com The attacks on abortion access and trans existence are coming from the same Christian nationalist far-right playbook. The legal challenges and intimidation campaigns against those seeking reproductive and trans healthcare are coordinated incursions on our right to control our bodies and our lives.

This talk will examine the questions of why some people have more power to make important decisions that affect us all, who they are and how they rule today. It will provide an analysis of the structural relations that cement their rule - the market and the state. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.

The Means of Reproduction: Abortion, Race and the 1%

Allison Guttu, Stephanie Kollgaard, Brooke Eliazar-Macke, and Molly Stump speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by National Women's Liberation. National Women's Liberation (NWL) is a multiracial feminist group for women who want to fight male supremacy and gain more freedom for women. https://womensliberation.org Is the war on abortion a matter of religious fanaticism? An attack on sexual pleasure? National Women’s Liberation believes these popular arguments don’t go deep enough. Using Jenny Brown’s book Birth Strike, we'll discuss the material, economic and racialized reasons that the capitalist class desperately needs to control reproductive labor. Editors note: At 8:30 the speakers incorrectly refer to the 1965 Supreme Court Case Griswold v. CT as granting abortion to married couples and it should be birth control.
