Hello there,
On Saturday October 23rd, we are hosting a comprehensive event that we call a
"day school"--three engaging talks by three active members of the
ISO, all under the heading "Socialism In Our Time," and it'd be great
if you could make it out!
The lecture-and-discussion-style event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. at the Frick Fine Arts Building, which is just below Schenley Plaza and
caddy-corner to the Carnegie Museum and Library. Come whenever you can,
and stay as long as you're able! We'll have pizza delivered for lunch at
noon, and all of our literature to peruse and purchase will be on hand.
The following is our schedule for the day:
10:30 a.m. Ashley Smith will speak on "The Revolutionary
Ideas of Karl Marx"
1:00 p.m. Sherry Wolf will speak on "Overcoming Divisions in
the Working Class"
2:45 p.m. Paul Le Blanc will speak on "Marxist Perspectives
on Revolutionary Organization"
Alan Maass, ISO member and author of The Case for Socialism, has written an
excellent piece called "Marx's theory of working-class revolution,"
which plays perfectly into the other day school events, just like ours on the
23rd, that are being hosted all over the country. Read it here:
