DESCRIPTION:IYSSE\nSpecial Event:  Why Study the Russian Revolution? \nA Lecture by 
 David North\n\nAcross the world,\nmillions of people are asking themselves, 
 “What is socialism?” as\nthey search for solutions to rising poverty, 
 social inequality,\nand\nthe expansion of the US’s never-ending wars 
 worldwide. Some,\nincluding Senator Bernie Sanders, claim socialism is 
 compatible\nwith\nsupport for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. But 
 to learn\nwhat socialism really is, one must examine the greatest event 
 of\nthe\n20th century: the Russian Revolution of 1917.\n\nWhat was 
 the\nRussian\nRevolution? How did it become the dominant event of the 
 20th\ncentury,\nforever altering history by giving rise to the most 
 powerful and\nprogressive social movements of the last century?\n\nDavid 
 North,\nchairman of the International Editorial Board of the 
 World\nSocialist\nWeb Site, will review the causes, consequences and 
 enduring\nsignificance of the 1917 Russian Revolution.\n\nWSWS Chairman 
 David\nNorth has been a leading figure in the international 
 socialist\nmovement for more than four decades. He is national chairman 
 of\nthe\nSocialist Equality Party (US) and author of numerous 
 works,\nincluding\nIn Defense of Leon Trotsky, The Russian Revolution 
 and\nthe Unfinished\n20th Century, and A Quarter Century of War: The US 
 Drive\nfor Global\nHegemony, 1991-2016.\n\n
