Topics:

1. The Relevance of Marxism Today

After the collapse of the Soviet Union the ideas of Marxism were considered dead and buried. It represented an historic setback, leading to a lowering of class consciousness. But the present global crisis is shaking the foundation of capitalism once again and workers and youth all around the world are searching for a way to fight back. This discussion in the morning will focus on the relevance of Marxist ideas today and how they can show a way forward for the struggle to overthrow capitalism.

READING: Stalinism and After (this is mostly background to the discussion which will focus more on Marxism in present period)

2. Building Socialist Alternative

In the northeast and all across the country there are opportunities to build new branches of Socialist Alternative and bring new activists in the socialist movement. How do we build our organization locally, nationally and internationally? What kind of organization are we building? What does it mean to be part of a revolutionary party and what role does it play? These are some of the topic discussed in this session in the afternoon.
