Are you new or newly returning to DSA? To Los Angeles? To the Left? Then join us for DSA 101!
At this orientation, we'll talk about what capitalism is, how it functions, and why socialism is ideologically opposed to it. Participants will also learn about the history of our organization and our chapter in particular, the current projects we're working on, and how you can get involved. This is not a lecture, but a meeting for new and veteran organizers to ground ourselves in socialist theory and discuss together how we can put it into action. We're excited to chat with you and answer your questions!

Educational: Fascism in the Long View of History
|
Wednesday, September 24 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
|
The consolidation of the capitalist class and the use of federal law enforcement to terrorize immigrants has invited comparisons of the second Trump Administration to previous fascist political projects, namely the Nazi Regime of the 20th century. This does beg a question for socialists — how much can we distinguish fascism as a political phenomenon from racist, imperialist, and authoritarian currents that preceded its rise in Europe and the US? How much of the characteristics we attribute to fascism are unique to it, and how much of it is in line with the brutal history of the nations in which it rose?
Join us for this educational as we consider the views of radical thinkers from W.E.B. Du Bois to Angela Davis who took a longer perspective of fascism as a political movement intertwined with the histories of racial subjugation, capitalist domination, and empire-building. Through an interactive discussion we hope to collectively understand fascism as something not discrete but a development in capitalist political system that must be upended.
