DESCRIPTION:They said that Marx was dead--that capitalism had triumphed. Then came the 
 realities of globalization. Then came endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
 Then came the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Now, 
 Marx's ideas seem to explain the world a lot better than what you see on 
 Fox News.\n\nBut Marx also predicted that the inequalities of capitalism 
 would give rise to resistance. And we've only just begun to see the 
 emergence of a new generation of struggles, from the protests for immigrant 
 rights, to the factory occupations of workers in Chicago, to the massive 
 outpouring of solidarity with the people of Gaza and Palestine.\n\nCome to 
 a discussion of Marx's ideas and how they apply to today, and then get 
 involved in helping us to build a movement that puts Marx’s ideas into 
 practice! As Marx himself said, "Philosophers have only interpreted the 
 world; the point is to change it!"\n\nFeatured Speakers:\n\nRagina Johnson 
 has been a leading activist in the anti-war and Palestinian Solidarity 
 movements. In 2006 she coordinated the successful College Not Combat 
 campaign for Prop. I which passed in S.F. and is currently fighting for 
 LGBT rights and the overturn of Prop. 8. Her recent political studies focus 
 on the face of poverty in the United States, attempting to debunk the 
 politics of personal responsibility.\n\nSid Patel is a Bay Area socialist 
 activist. He was a founding member of the Campus Antiwar Network, and has 
 also organized for immigrant rights, gay marriage, and against the death 
 penalty. He contributes to SocialistWorker.org, most recently with coverage 
 of the No on Prop 8 demonstrations.\n
