Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Antifascism
@ Pilsen Community Books
1102 W 18th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, August 10th, from 6PM - 7PM
Join us to celebrate the release of Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Antifascism (PM Press and Kersplebedeb, 2024) with editor Xtn Alexander, contributors Zhandarka Kurti, Michael Staudenmaier, and Jarrod Shanahan, and local activist Liz Simmons. Panelists will discuss the history and theory of the “three way fight” perspective as it relates to anti-racist and anti-fascist organizing, and the broader project of cultivating revolutionary politics. Bring questions, critiques, and ideas for moving forward. From PM Press: “What’s the relationship between combating the far right and working for systemic change? What does it mean when fascists intensify racial oppression and patriarchy but also call for the downfall of economic elites or even take up arms against the state? “Three way fight politics confront these urgent questions squarely, arguing that the far right grows out of an oppressive capitalist order but is also in conflict with it in real ways, and that radicals need to combat both. The three way fight approach says we need sharper analysis of far-right movements so we can fight them more effectively, and we also need to track ongoing developments within the ruling class, including liberal or centrist efforts to co-opt antifascism as a tool of state repression and system legitimation.”
