  • The Poetics of Social Movements with aja monet
    aja monet and Robin D.G. Kelley speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023.

  • We're Not Praying Alone: Religion, Marxism, and the Struggle Over Third Spaces

    Maryam Abidi and Naomi Bennet speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023.

    Religious institutions are some of the few remaining sites of genuine community not to be broken up by capital and resold piecemeal for profit; yet they remain an under-engaged terrain of struggle. This panel will discuss the fights happening inside particularly non-Christian religious institutions and argue for socialists to organize in every corner of the working class.

  • Abolition Communism with Robin D.G. Kelley
    Robin D.G. Kelley speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2023.
    Abolition is presence. We combine already-existing activities, suppressed knowledges, and fresh practices to strengthen communities-in-struggle, inventing new futures as we go. The real movement for abolition—of racial capitalism, carcerality, criminalization, borders—reorganizes what is into what we need to make a world in which life is precious.

  • The Fight For Municipal Socialism: Recovering a Usable Past
    Shelton Stromquist speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2023.
    For more than a century, municipal socialism has fired the imaginations of workers around the world. But, at every turn, propertied elites challenged their right to govern.
