Conference theme
Today's left generates an increasingly bold and resonant criticism of contemporary capitalism and the severely compromised everyday life it produces. From Occupy Wall Street to Black Lives Matter and the Fight for $15, from escalating climate justice and gender freedom demands and the movement against mass incarceration, to the massive national support for Bernie not despite but because he wears the label socialist: left critique is going big. Something profound is shaking.
The fuel for radical social transformation is all around us. From the streets and from offices, from campuses, factories, and stores, we see a growing rage against the system coming from those left behind and left out. People have had it. But we know too well that rage can easily feed the dangers of right wing populism, fascism, militarism, and gun violence in the US and around the world.
Rebellion, too, stalks the institutions that perpetuate a ruthless and violent system. Rebellion is inevitable when people live in a dehumanizing and contradictory society. But
rebellion can fuel the right as well as the left – from “Know-Nothing” style populism to positive reforms like higher wages and from movements to end the racist dimensions and transform the institutional purposes of policing in our country, all the way up to a revolutionary alternative. The future depends on what we envision and build today, on how we ride this wave.
We know that we can do better than capitalism and its state violence and endless bullshit. We reject the corporate dominance that corrupts our politics while delivering depressions, unemployment, and austerity. Folks all around the world share our disgust at the grotesque inequalities of today’s corporate system: its discriminations against and oppressions of vast populations and its destruction of our environment. They sense that there are better alternatives. At Left Forum, we come together to imagine and hash out these alternatives, and to organize our power to make them real.
There is a lot to build on, and a lot to build. See you at Left Forum!
