Three in-person classes to delve deeper into anti-imperialism and the socialist context!

• anti-imperialist action: "what does imperialism look like today, who are the largest perpetrators and victims, and how can we as socialists in the imperial core act on it?"
  • ideas of solidarity and chauvinism, internationalism versus isolation, the historic socialist internationals
• national liberation and resistance: "imperialism at its breaking point: how does the desperate and ultimate struggle against imperialism manifest?"
  
  • proletarian versus bourgeois nationalism, anti-imperialism versus inter-imperialism, critical support and united/popular fronts
• anti-zionism and third-worldism: "how do the material conditions of postcolonial societies prime the path for socialism, and and what does this mean for our project in building a socialist world?"
  • the paradox of the "united socialist states of america", defeatism, settler-colonialism and neo-colonialism as higher stages of imperialism
