Tom Ladendorf and Miikka Jaarte speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. Marx’s critique of political economy puts forward groundbreaking theories of freedom and unfreedom that are crucial for understanding capitalism and the capitalist state. We argue that socialists today should take up Marx’s critique of the market and his analysis of the dominating power of capital and capitalists.

Rob Larson speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. Most of humanity’s unfixable problems arise from its small, awful ruling class. Labor exploitation, climate change, monopoly, bubbles, the extinction crisis, financial crashes, tyrannical workplaces—all this, all this, is for the benefit of a tiny class of remote ruling class bastards. Save a slot in your SocCon plans for a playful crash course in defeating dumb defenses of the ruling class, from “job” creation to Innovations that make your life worse. Labor holds the cards, so let’s comb through their cooked books and crooked accounting so that we can take the rich to the cleaners. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6.

Dr. Santiago Slabodsky, Rabbi Alissa Wise, and Iskander Abbasi speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. From New York to Cape Town, London to Los Angeles, Muslims and Jews are at the forefront of confronting Zionism – whether in its Christian, Jewish or Islamic iteration. This movement of faith-based Jewish-Muslim solidarity is a direct challenge to Zionism’s attempt to normalize oppressive Jewish-Muslim relations through colonizing Palestine and creating Muslim-majority states which are economically dependent on Israel/the West. This session will explore how Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and contested/shared histories of Jewish-Muslims relations play a role in providing a decolonial alternative to Zionist hegemony.
