DESCRIPTION:Sun, May 10, 2020: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm\n\nThe Bernie Sanders Movement, Its 
 Historical Antecedents, and Its Legacy\n\nBernie Sanders has suspended, but 
 not dismantled, his campaign for POTUS. We will examine the impact of the 
 movement that was led by Bernie Sanders on US politics and its historical 
 antecedents. Eugene E Ruyle will review the past two centuries of the 
 struggle for socialism in America, from Robert Owen to the New Left and 
 MLK, taking us up to the present. Roger Harris will follow with an 
 examination of the substantial contributions made by Sanders and the 
 extraordinary obstacles imposed by the Democratic National Committee and by 
 extension by the capitalist state. Also, to be addressed is the nature of 
 the various movements calling themselves socialist and, in particular, what 
 kind of “socialism” is represented by the Sanders phenomenon. Open 
 discussion will follow.\n   Eugene E Ruyle is Emeritus Professor of 
 Anthropology at CSULB, currently with ICSS in Oakland. \n   Roger Harris is 
 on the state central committee of the Peace and Freedom Party, the only 
 ballot qualified socialist party in California.\n\nOnline ZOOM Meeting.

 [at] MAC.COM\n\nSunday Morning at the Marxist Library\nWe are located at 
 6501 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA 94609. Our major project is our 
 lecture/discussion series, Sunday Mornings at the Marxist Library. We 
 sometimes sponsor study groups on various topics and sponsor various other 
 workshops and events.\n\nAbout the Institute\nThe Institute for the 
 Critical Study of Society at the Niebyl Proctor Marxist Library (ICSSMARX) 
 was formed to further the Library's goals of preserving our written 
 heritage, as well as supporting emerging struggles for racial and gender 
 equality, and for Socialism. The members of ICSS are active in different 
 aspects of peopleճ struggles in the Bay Area and globally. Some are 
 affiliated with specific political parties and tendencies, others are not. 
 We respect one another, but we do not necessarily agree on all issues. 
 Accordingly, the opinions expressed in our lectures, workshops, and 
 publications are those of the authors only and do not represent a group 
 consensus on the issues discussed. We are united, however, in our respect 
 for the work of Karl Marx and our belief that his work will remain as 
 important for the class struggles of the future as they have been for the 
 past. As a group, we continue to draw inspiration from the work of Karl 
 Marx, including his Eleventh Thesis on Feuerbach:\nThe philosophers have 
 only interpreted the world,\nin various ways; the point is to change it.\n
