Socialist Night School: What Will Socialism Look Like?
@ Hairpin Arts Center
2810 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
Opening Sunday, December 8th, from 12PM - 2:30PM
At this Socialist Night School we will dive into theories of what a socialist society will look like and the paths to get there.
Socialism is not just about critiquing capitalism and its failures, but painting a vision for a new, more just and freer world for all people. What goes into that vision though? Is socialism a specific vision of particular things, or a world built on a set of principles that can look any number of different ways? Join us to discuss how we even build a vision of a socialist future and some of the ways people have thought about–and dreamed out–this in the past. The readings are below:
