DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n    \n    \n    \n        The ISO presents Alan Maass, editor of the 
 SocialistWorker.org newspaper and author of “The Case for Socialism," 
 speaking on\n    \n    \n    \n    \n        THE RIGHT TURN IN U.S. 
 POLITICS: How it happened . . . and what we can do to stop it!\n    \n    
 \n    \n    \n        Since Obama took office on a strong mandate for 
 progressive reform, we have seen the steady growth of the Right as the 
 Democrats have failed to deliver\n        in the midst of a deepening 
 economic crisis.  The Tea Party, once considered a fringe element, has 
 enlivened far right politics, particularly through\n        vicious 
 campaigns of racism against Muslims and immigrants.  The Republican Party, 
 which was reeling from a massive electoral defeat just two years\n        
 ago, has regrouped and retaken the House of Representatives this month.  At 
 the same time, however, polls show a majority in this country support a\n   
      range of progressive causes like legal equality for LGBT people and 
 taxing the rich to pay for social programs. How can these things exist side 
 by\n        side? How can we explain what just happened in the elections? 
 Why did US politics take a right turn? How can we organize to fight the 
 Right and build\n        an independent left in the US?\n    \n    \n
