Imperialism and Us – A presentation of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)

A presentation of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Some of you are familiar with us from our presence at the Peoples’ Classrooms taught by Gianni Notaro.

Contrary to rightwing efforts to make Socialism a bad word, PSL, based in the U.S., works in solidarity with working class and oppressed peoples around the world, and is dedicated to re-organizing society upon principles of collective well-being, equality, and cooperation.

We seldom hear the U.S. referred to as “an empire,” but that’s what it is.  With military bases all over the world, use of our military power to topple governments and to fund and foment wars, demonizing some nations as terrorist and thus removing any obligation to treat them with respect, our nation fits the definition.

Join us for a discussion about imperialism, what it is, why Americans know so little about it, and why our working-class movements cannot afford to either ignore or tolerate the imperialist orientation of the US ruling class. Imperialism is a project that takes at least half of our nation’s GDP and funnels it back into the projects of the wealthiest fraction of Americans – projects that invariably result in wars that working class people and our families fight and die in, and which depend upon our labor for their funding.

Learn with us why we have everything to gain joining the workers of all nations against the capitalists. All of us can benefit from seeing imperialism for what it is and in solidarity add ourselves to the resistance.
