A series of open discussions on Socialism and the Possibility of Human Freedom
In the face of rampant racism, sexism, inequality, environmental destruction, and growing authoritarianism, the question facing us is can humanity become free? This is not just the problem of our era; it also the theme of Raya Dunayevskaya’s classic book, Marxism and Freedom, first published in 1958. Join us for our exploration of this work in light of the search for a viable socialist alternative to capitalism today.
Meetings every other Thursday, starting September 6, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Harold Washington Library, 400 S. State St., Chicago, 7th floor (Room 7N-5)
Sponsored by the International Marxist-Humanist Organization

1968, Year of Protest and Revolution, Fifty Years Later – Its Lessons for Today
October 14, 2018
6:30-8:30 PM
Westside Peace Center
3916 Sepulveda Blvd., Suite 101-102
The revolutionary waves of 1968 crisscrossed the globe and involved a variety of forces of revolution in the US, from students to the Black and Latinx communities and the nascent women’s liberation movement. The Chicanx East LA school walkouts will get particular attention in our discussion. 1968 reached its revolutionary high point in France, where workers joined students in occupying everything, almost toppling the capitalist state. Important developments also occurred in Czechoslovakia, where an experiment in socialist humanism was crushed by Russian tanks, in Mexico where students faced massacre by the state, and with Japan’s radical student movement.
