SUMMARY:The State and Strategies for Socialism
DESCRIPTION:Zones of Liberation: 2nd Session\nOn developing and defending areas of opposition and building a broad and lasting anti-capitalist socialist movement\nA panel with Paul Christopher Gray\, Rafael Khachaturian and Stephen Maher\nModerated by Caroline Sykora\nAt this late and moribund stage of capitalist development nothing is sacred to profit-making as the capitalists deforest the Amazon and exploit the deepest marine life of the Marianas Trench. Meanwhile\, the working classes the world over are engaged of necessity in an array of movements in opposition to these life-destroying practices. Nonetheless\, workers deliver through their labors—which they must sell in order to survive\, losing control over the use of their labor power in this act of selling—the means by which capital is digitally speeding us towards a metabolic endgame. Each decade going forward will lead to the demise of ever more species from the microbial to fully sentient beings like ourselves\, all the result of the insatiable proliferation of the capitalists pursuit for ever-greater profit and continuous expanding accumulation of their money capital even if to do so requires the end of life on this planet as we know it. \nIn response to this\, The Marxist Education Project is continuing the Zones of Liberation series this November 9th. The Socialist Project of Canada has been publishing a series on Socialist Strategy and the State over the past year. All of the published pieces are essential for those active in the anti-capitalist movement to be reading and discussing. Stephen Maher and Rafael Khachaturian’s essay Socialist Strategy and the Democratic Capitalist State examines the the state in its liberal-democratic form\, arguing that we should move beyond both vanguardist and social democratic models toward a view of the state as a contradictory site of class and social struggles.  Paul Christoher Gray’s article on Socialist Project is taken from his recently published From the Streets to the State: Changing the World by Taking Power\, where he takes on the limitations of dual power and extra-parliamentarism and the flaws inherent in the electoralist approaches and where there can be some reconciliation of the best aspects of these tendencies. \nPaul Christopher Gray is a professor in Brock University’s Department of Labor Studies in St. Catharines\, Ontario. The link to Paul’s work is here: https://socialistproject.ca/2019/06/transforming-capitalist-power-from-streets-to-state/ \nRafael Khachaturian is a Lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania and faculty at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research. \nStephen Maher is a social critic\, PhD candidate at York University in Toronto and Socialist Register Assistant Editor. \nThe link to Rafael and Stephen’s work is here: https://socialistproject.ca/2019/05/socialist-strategy-and-capitalist-democratic-state/
