DESCRIPTION:With the economy in shambles and with wars and occupations continuing, the 
 challenge to change these conditions confronts us all. More than a year 
 ago, millions placed their hopes in Barack Obama and the Democrats to solve 
 these problems. But after months of broken promises and concessions to 
 conservatives, jobs are scarce, the banks are unregulated, and full 
 equality for LGBT people remains elusive.\n\nSocialism 2010—to be held in 
 both Chicago and Oakland—will provide an unparalleled opportunity for new 
 and veteran activists and scholars to explore questions about how we got 
 into this mess and how we can get out of it.\n\nLast year, more than 1,800 
 people turned out to explore the history of struggles of ordinary people, 
 to learn about radical figures who led social movements and to debate 
 theoretical questions that can help us change the world.\n\nJoin us for 
 more than 100 talks on issues such as: What is the Real Marxist Tradition?, 
 Race in the Obama Era, Capitalism, Climate Change, and the Future of 
 Humanity, Abortion and Women’s Liberation, and Building a New Left in the 
 Obama Era.\n\nDon’t miss the chance to meet, talk and socialize with 
 hundreds of others like you who want to build an alternative to a system of 
 greed, racism, war and oppression.\n\nLIST OF
