Today’s ecological reality is that we are on the edge of a mass extinction, while corporations protect their bottom lines by pushing reusable bags, cups, straws, and “green” carbon offsets. Individual responsibility and greenwashed products are not the solutions we need. Addressing the full scope of the problem will take ecosocialist remedies, to change the system from the ground up – literally. Join us for a riveting discussion of real climate fixes from a socialist feminist perspective. The program will highlight Samuel Rubin, Marxist geographical anthropologist, ecosocialist and member of the Freedom Socialist Party.
What kind of unity do oppressed and working people need today? Certainly not the Democrats’ version of bi-partisanship that will cause more repression and misery for the 99% while the 1% add billions to their bloated portfolios.
The united front is a movement tactic in which political groups and activists collaborate against a common enemy or for any agreed objective, even if they are politically different in other ways.
United fronts are a very effective method of advancing the growth, strength, and unity of the working-class movement, which is an urgent task now.
In this online study group, to be held on Zoom, we will discuss:
• The purpose, principles, structure, and actions of united fronts
• Why united fronts are so important
• Their role in the revolutionary movements of history as well as today
• How to apply lessons from history to today’s challenges
• Practical wisdom that we can use to build our own united fronts
• The united front model of solidarity in action
• How and why united fronts have won significant gains, while failing to form them has resulted in painful defeats
