Come to Socialism 2007
Uploaded by: TraprockPeaceCtr
Video Description:
Student activists from the University of Wisconsin, Madison say why they're excited about the upcoming conference: "SOCIALISM 2007: Socialism for the 21st Century." being held at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare, June 14-17, 2007. See http://www.socialismconference.org for more details.
SOCIALISM 2007 will bring together socialists and activists who are involved in struggles across the country--from opposing the war to organizing against the death penalty--and share a vision of rebuilding the left.
Join John Pilger, Amy Goodman, Dahr Jamail, Dave Zirin, Anthony Arnove, Sharon Smith, Laura Flanders, Dr. John Carlos, Jeff St. Clair, IVAW's Kelly Dougherty, and a host of other speakers at Socialism 2007, and participate in the discussion over the future of radical and socialist politics in the 21st Century.
Last summer, some 1,500 people turned out for Socialism 2006 in New York City.
Student comments were videotaped on May 4, 2007 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Many thanks to Chris Dols and Elizabeth Wrigley-Field for their organizing (and for their comments), and to all the students who participated.

| Socialism may be used loosely sometimes, as all words are at times. I take it to mean workers rule of the means of production and distribution as the only tool leading towards communism. International Socialism leads to Communism: Jobs for all, healthcare as a birth right, education as a right of passage, freedom! Workers Unite, not only for the US out of Iraq now, but for workers rule! |

| is this state socialism? get it straight. workers got screwed over when they abandoned their unions and entrusted the power to regulate wages, etc. to state and federal governments. transferring sovereignty from the people to bureaucracies is not the answer. and the only revolution that results is a bloody and oppressive one. |
