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.

Jewish-Muslim Solidarity: Building a Decolonial Alternative to Zionist Hegemony

Dr. Santiago Slabodsky, Rabbi Alissa Wise, and Iskander Abbasi speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. From New York to Cape Town, London to Los Angeles, Muslims and Jews are at the forefront of confronting Zionism – whether in its Christian, Jewish or Islamic iteration. This movement of faith-based Jewish-Muslim solidarity is a direct challenge to Zionism’s attempt to normalize oppressive Jewish-Muslim relations through colonizing Palestine and creating Muslim-majority states which are economically dependent on Israel/the West. This session will explore how Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and contested/shared histories of Jewish-Muslims relations play a role in providing a decolonial alternative to Zionist hegemony.

Mastering the Universe: Who Is The Ruling Class (and How Do We Take Their Money)?

Rob Larson speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. Most of humanity’s unfixable problems arise from its small, awful ruling class. Labor exploitation, climate change, monopoly, bubbles, the extinction crisis, financial crashes, tyrannical workplaces—all this, all this, is for the benefit of a tiny class of remote ruling class bastards. Save a slot in your SocCon plans for a playful crash course in defeating dumb defenses of the ruling class, from “job” creation to Innovations that make your life worse. Labor holds the cards, so let’s comb through their cooked books and crooked accounting so that we can take the rich to the cleaners. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6.

Liz Oliva Fernandez, Helen Yaffe, August Nimtz, and Anthony Quezada speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Chicago Cuba Coalition.
