Selected Wednesdays at 6:30 PM

News and Letters Committees invites you to a series of four discussions on:
What is Socialism in 2018-2019?
► What is the relationship between what Karl Marx worked out in Capital to what Bernie Sanders calls socialism?
► Can socialism be a viable alternative to capitalism?
► Does socialism, which historically has been interpreted to be about labor, speak to Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, immigrants’ rights, LGBTQI, disabled and other non-labor oriented struggles?
Participate in four discussions:
1. Wednesday, October 31: What is Socialism in 2018-2019–led by Gerry Emmett, “World in View” columnist and author of “On its 150th anniversary, let’s talk about Marx’s Capital”
