SUMMARY:Is Another World Really Possible?
DESCRIPTION:A Collaborative Reading and Writing Project\nConvened with Richard Greeman\n12 Weeks\, September 24 through December 10\nStated admissions are for the entire course. Single admission are $10. No one is turned away for inability to pay. \nNew York participants should join us at New Perspectives Theatre (458 W. 37th St) at 10:45 am on Sunday\, 9/24 (tomorrow). The theater is accessible from the 34th St/Hudson Yards stop on the #7 train\, or from Penn Station. Coffee\, tea and cakes will be available. \nIf you plan to watch online\, the URL is\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7eHTpHxoTc \nPrepare by reading Richard Greeman’s Then and Now at\nhttp://futurehistorians.org/doku.php?id=then_and_now \nand/or by watching Immanuel Wallerstein’s “Utopistics” lecture at\n \n2017 taught us all that “No is not enough.” We need a positive vision of a better world and the roads leading to it. So let’s imagine we are future historians living in a peaceful\, egalitarian\, democratic society on a damaged\, but stabilized\, planet in the year 2117. Our project is to look backward a century to the year 2017 (the centenary of the unforeseen 1917 Soviet revolution) and reconstruct how our great-grandparents got us from here — today’s capitalist death-spiral to there — a livable\, sustainable\, global society free of oppression and exploitation. We will meet weekly\, in-person at our New York studio and via teleconference with participants across several time zones (including philosopher Peter Hudis in Chicago and ecosocialist Michel Löwy in Paris) with the goal of collectively creating a popular future fiction of a realistically plausible better world – a vision that might go viral and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. \nWorld-wide participants as of September 1: MAELLA DOQUIN\, Paris\, activist since 1968 • ALEXEI GUSEV\, Moscow\, Historian of Russian Oppositions\, Chair of Praxis Center for Research and Eduction • JULIA GUSEVA\, Moscow\, translator of Victor Serge\, anarcho-syndicalist\, co-founder of Praxis Center • HARRY HALPIN\, Paris\, Internet revolutionary and activist\, team member World Wide Web Consortium\, author: Social Semantics: The Search for Meaning on the Web • JASON HICKS\, NYC transit worker\, union activist\, DSA member\, philosopher • PETER HUDIS\, Chicago\, Marxist-humanist philosopher and activist.

SUMMARY:Trumping Trump: The New Wave of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The New Wave of Resistance in Our Time\nCo-sponsored by encuentro5 and Universalizing Resistance \nWith the rise of the far right and its cynical exploitation of “class” as a mobilizing tool\, the left has been forced onto the defensive. This event is a bold reassertion of a class politics that also validates the struggles and priorities of so-called “identity-based” groups. Public sociologist\, Charles Derber draws on his new book\, Welcome to the Revolution\, to support a new wave of resistance to the intersectional system of militarized capitalism.  \nHe is joined by Janet MacGillivray\, an environmental lawyer\, indigenous activist\, a founder of Seeding Sovereignty\, who will speak to her organizing with young people at Standing Rock. Leading the conversation will be movement strategist\, Jodeen Olguin-Tayler\, an organizer of many transformative labor and community campaigns involving super-exploited workers and cross-sector movements. Both Janet and Jodeen contributed short interludes—accounts and analyses of resistance—to Charles’ book. \nFor more information\, see http://UniversalizingResistance.org
