SUMMARY:Syriza Wave with Helena Sheehan
DESCRIPTION:Helena Sheehan\, author of the new book The Syriza Wave: Surging and Crashing with the Greek Left will speak. She will be joined by Nantina Vgontzas\, Ph.D. Candidate in Sociology\, NYU; Member\, GSOC-UAW 2110 and AKNY-Greece Solidarity Movement. Welcome: Molly Nolan\, Professor of History\, NYU\, and Brooklyn for Peace; Chair: Thomas Harrison\, Co-Director\, Campaign for Peace and Democracy. Sponsored by the NYU Department of History\, co-sponsored by Campaign for Peace and Democracy\, AKNY-Greece Solidarity Movement\, Monthly Review Press\, and The Marxist Education Project. https://www.facebook.com/events/1671073319855435/ \nA seasoned activist and participant-observer\, Helena Sheehan adroitly places us at the center of the whirlwind beginnings of Syriza\, its jubilant victory at the polls\, and finally at Syriza’s surrender to the very austerity measures it once vowed to annihilate. Along the way\, she takes time to meet many Greeks in tavernas\, on the street\, and in government offices\, engage in debates\, and compare Greece to her own economically blighted country\, Ireland. Beginning as a strong Syriza supporter\, Sheehan sees Syriza transformed from a horizon of hope to a vortex of despair. But out of the dust of defeat\, she draws questions radiating optimism. Just how did what was possibly the most intelligent\, effective instrument of the Greek left self-destruct? And what are the consequences for the Greek people\, for the international left\, for all of us driven to work for a better world? The Syriza Wave is a page-turning blend of political reportage\, personal reflection\, and astute analysis. \nHelena Sheehan is Professor Emerita at Dublin City University\, where she taught history of ideas and media studies. She is also the author of several books\, including Marxism and the Philosophy of Science: A Critical History and Irish Television Drama: A Society and Its Stories\, as well as magazine articles on politics\, culture\, and philosophy.

SUMMARY:Fascism: Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Fascism Then and Now: A Community Roundtable \nFriends of the MEP and the Left community at large are invited to discuss the meaning and signficance of fascism and how to recognize it and struggle against it in world politics today. We hope to debate questions such as: What is the nature of fascism in relation to nationalism/racism\, misogyny\, social/community dissolution? Is or is not the Trump phenomenon an example or at least a precursor of fascism in the USA? Are there important political movements in other countries that could be called fascist? Is the social psychology of fascism the same today as it was in the 20th century? Are theAre there other forms of authoritarian capitalism that are not fascism\, and why might it matter? Current facilitators are Peter Bratsis\, Michael Pelias\, Dan Karan\, Alex Steinberg\, David Worley (moderator).  \nOthers are welcome to join as facilitators; each facilitator will offer a three minute (no longer) opening statement\, after which the floor will be open for general discussion. \nThe image is from a deck of anti-fascist playing cards created during the Siege of Leningrad in 1943

SUMMARY:Greece at the Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:Alex Steinberg\nFrank Brenner\nGeorge Caffentzis\nLive via Skype from Greece\, Savas Michael Matsas\, Secretary of the Workers Revolutionary Party of Greece \nBOOK LAUNCH\nThe book\, Greece at the Crossroads\, concentrates on the fateful year 2015 when for the first time in generations a radical left wing party took power with a promise of ending the vicious austerity regime imposed by the EU.\nThe year began with euphoria about the victory of Syriza in January\, continued through the spring with increasing frustration at the willingness of the new government to make one concession after another and was capped by the referendum of July.  The mass mobilizations supporting a NO vote in the referendum were unlike anything seen in Greece in several decades.  The landslide victory of the NO promised a historic confrontation with the EU and the capitalist system in general. But Prime Minister Tsipras overnight repudiated the results of the referendum and negotiated the most onerous agreement yet with the EU. The year ended with a series of general strikes against the Syriza government. Those actions continue in the new year.\nHow to make sense of these developments? What are the implications of the events in Greece for the project of fighting the austerity regime of the EU? Is socialism a viable alternative to austerity?\nThese are just some of questions that we will deal with in the Panel
