DESCRIPTION:Lessons and Relevance Of The Russian Revolution For Today &  Screening of 
 “From The Czar To Lenin"\nSunday November 12, 2017 1:00 PM\nSan Francisco 
 Main Public Library\n100 Larkin St. Latino Room Lower Level\nSan 
 Francisco\n\nOne hundred years ago, the working class through the Soviets 
 took power in Russia. The revolution had reverberations throughout the 
 world including in the US, California and the bay area. While the 
 Democratic party politicians today are wailing about the role of Putin and 
 Russia, the US government actually invaded Russia with 20 other countries 
 in 1919 to overthrow the new government. Longshore workers in Seattle also 
 stopped the loading of rifles to Russia.\nAt the same time,  a battle was 
 going on within the labor movement in the US about what position the unions 
 should take to the revolution and US capitalism. US workers today are under 
 attack as the capitalists seek to privatize education along with all public 
 services and destroy our  unions while moving toward world war. The decline 
 of US capitalism  is also directly leading to the rise of Trump and other 
 forces.\nAs the US hurtles toward world war today and  growing fascist 
 forces,  the question of the relevancy and lessons of the Russian 
 revolution is important for today.\nThis forum will also look at how the 
 Russian revolution impacted working people in the US and 
 California.\n\nAgenda:\nScreening of “From The Czar To
