Drinking Up the Revolution: A Socialist Politics of Alcohol
James Wilt speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.
Alcohol is one of the most popular drugs in the world, yet remains largely under-analyzed as a highly profitable commodity for capitalist firms and states. This session explores how we might take alcohol seriously as a widely enjoyed and celebrated drug, while also working to reduce alcohol-caused harms largely caused by capitalist domination of its production.

Lenin And the Politics of Rehearsal
Ruth Wilson Gilmore speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.
100 years after Lenin’s death, his exhortations to learn and think in the concrete remain urgent for our movements. What does it mean to approach our political practice not as an abstract set of rules, but as a collective rehearsal of coming worlds? And how can we perceive, expand, and connect contemporary world-experiments rehearsing abolitionist, communist, and anti-imperialist movement around the planet?

Religion at the Encampments
Maryam Abidi, Safear Ness, and Naomi Bennet speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.
At Palestine solidarity encampments across the country, religious life as part of revolutionary activity blossomed. Seders invited all to imagine a freer world and communities defended Muslims praying in congregation hand in hand. These religious activities also became lighting poles for violence and repression. Understanding why will illuminate why Marxists ought to sharpen our understandings of comradely religious life.

Capitalism’s New Attacks on Public Education
Lois Weiner and Sarah Rothschild speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.
Capitalism has shifted its project to dismantle public education. A new alignment of players (including tech firms, private equity, and venture capitalists), have established a foothold in schools using educational technology to privatize, surveil and control teachers’ and students’ work, often working with the far Right to turn back social justice reforms in schools. The session explores the project and pushback.
