Can We Define Fascism? – DSA-LA SFV Marxism Reading Group |
|
Thursday, August 18 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm |
|
Please join us for the first session of our series on The Decline of Neoliberalism and the Rise of American Fascism on Thursday, August 18th.
In this series, we will gain a better understanding of what fascism is, how to identify it, how previous socialists fought it, and hopefully answer the question is the United States of America fascist? We will be approaching the topic with a series of videos, podcasts, and writings from the last 100 years from multiple viewpoints.
In the first session, we’ll be discussing a few YouTube videos and two essays that attempt to define fascism. A collaborative doc with links, the text, and Zoom connection information will be provided. Please RSVP for access.
The discussion group is open to all, including DSA members outside of the San Fernando Valley and non-DSA members. |
