Socialist Visions

In this episode, we revisit White supremacy,  racism in the criminal justice system, and why clear precise demands are needed.  We thoroughly applaud the protests in support of Ferguson  around the country, especially the involvement of young people from various walks of life. But we also want to propose that clear concise demands come out of this movement so it's provided better understanding of its objectives. Listen in on the show and tell us what you think.

In this episode, we dicuss why it's important for people to get involved in the political process especially on the local level, and how such involvement can ultimately help bring about socialism. In part of our discussion, we will talk about socialist city council woman Kshama Sawant in Seattle as an example of what local political involement means.

In last week's show, we defined what and how institutionalized racism works. In this part 2, we will discuss how socialism can help dismantle institutionalized racism.

In this episode, we discuss what racism is, and how real socialism could help dismantle the institutionalized racism.

This is your news and analysis segment, with a focus on Ferguson, ISIS, and the recent Moving Social Justice Conference.

A week after the People’s Climate March in NYC, we discuss the impact of the growing environmentalism movement, how capitalism is destroying the environment, and how a real socialist transformation must be a system that works for both the people and the planet. We must seize the momement for real change.

In this episode we discuss how we all could work less and be more productive under a technologically driven socialist economy and society. Today there are over 7 billion people on the planet, but yet the majority of us work just as hard and as long as we were working a hundred years ago. While technology has automated many of the jobs and tasks people used to perform, technlogical unemployement under capitalism has lead to more unemployment, lower pay, and more work hours—that is, except for the rich elite. So listen in, and let's talk about work and leisure under socialism.

In this episode we explore the role of property under capitalism, and how it serves to empower the rich land owning class. We discuss the impact of the privatization of land resources, and what it does to the economy and people in general. And finally we discuss how the concept of ownerhip could be different under a socialist economic system.

In this episode we will discuss what is required to build a sustainable movement for real economic and political change. We will talk about the eight stages of movement building, and what can be learned from the Civil Rights Movement, the Occupy Movement, and the movement currently underway in Ferguson, MI.

In this episode, we continue to discuss why reform strategies (electorial politics and local engagement) and socialist revolution are essentail for chaning the conditions of poor communities in this country and throughout the world. We examine why poor, working class African communities like Ferguson are hit hard by racism, police brutatlity, high unemployment, and poor education, and what needs to be done.
