Building a New Left for a New Era: Socialism 2009 San Francisco July 2-5 Two weekends of revolutionary politics, debate and discussion Register online www.socialismconference.org
The world economic crisis has shattered the free-market consensus that dominated politics for the last generation. Meanwhile, the end of the conservative era and the election of the first African American president have raised expectations among working people that long overdue change is at hand. With capitalism in crisis, even some in the mainstream media are admitting that Karl Marx was right.
There has never been a better time for those who want to see fundamental change to get together to debate, discuss and organize for a new society--a society based on the needs of the many instead of the whims of a few. We ned to organize a new left to meet the challenge of this new era. Gather with activists from all over the world to take part in dozens of discussions about changing the world: How can we end racism? What kind of organization do we need? What would a future socialist society look like?
Speakers Include:
Rose Aguilar, David Bacon, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Robert Brenner, Dennis Brutus, Mike Davis, Laura Flanders, Anand Gopal, Dahr Jamail, Christian Parenti, John Pilger, Cindy Sheehan, Jeffrey St. Clair, Dave Zirin, Sherry Wolf and many more. Check website for full list.
