The word "Socialism" has returned to the mainstream of American political debate. But there are widespread misconceptions about what Socialism is and what it isn't. Republicans fret that the U.S. is fast becoming a Socialist country with government spending on bank bailouts and Barack Obama's proposed health care reform. But the genuine tradition of "Socialism from Below" means more than state intervention in the economy.
Socialism is really about the struggle to oppose discrimination and oppression in all its forms and to put the needs of working people before corporate greed and profits. It's about creating a world free from the chaos of economic crises and the rule of a few elites over the vast majority. A world were the amount of freedom you enjoy is not tied directly to the size of your wallet.
Come to a meeting sponsored by the International Socialist Organization to discuss the idea of socialism and socialist strategies for changing the world.
Thursday, September. 10 @ 7pm in Laffayette 311 on UVM Campus
