Mon Mohapatra, Victoria Law, Tracy Rosenthal, and Beatrice Adler-Bolton speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Death Panel.

This session will explore how the rhetorics of “care,” support, and empathy are often deployed to expand and reinforce carcerality—to make carcerality appear innocuous, or even an expansion of social welfare and public health. Mon Mohapatra, Victoria Law, and Tracy Rosenthal will discuss how to evaluate and identify programs that disguise carcerality under the pretense of “care” and how carewashing can be resisted.

Rebecca Vilkomerson, Alissa Wise, Beth Howard, and Pranay Somayajula speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.

A powerful source of resistance to systems of domination and violence comes from within the very communities that are used to justify and uphold those systems. The past decades have seen impactful solidarity organizing of Jews against Zionism, Hindus against Hindutva and white people against white supremacy and Christian nationalism. Join organizers from these movements as they share lessons and discuss strategies and challenges of solidarity organizing.

Tom Ladendorf and Miikka Jaarte speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.

Marx’s critique of political economy puts forward groundbreaking theories of freedom and unfreedom that are crucial for understanding capitalism and the capitalist state. We argue that socialists today should take up Marx’s critique of the market and his analysis of the dominating power of capital and capitalists.

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.

Washington’s designating Cuba a “State Sponsor of Terrorism” prevents nearly all Cuba’s international commerce. Meanwhile U.S. sanctions against Venezuela, Nicaragua, and others arguably hurt working people rather than leaders – and are largely responsible for the current immigration crisis. A look inside the fight for fair and normalized relations with the Global South.

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.
