Great discussion yesterday! The range of topics was quite diverse but I think we regularly found ourselves returning to the need for both international solidarity and revolutionary organizing at home in our communities. Several people asked me to follow up with our remaining events (and links to the reading) in January, so here they are:
January 21st @ 6:30PM - Socialism: Utopian and Scientific
A short pamphlet by Friedrich Engels outlining the differences between various historical and current versions of socialism and the relevance of these different philosophies on concrete political goals.

January 28th @ 6:30PM - Wage-Labour and Capital
An introduction to the economic critique of capitalism written by Karl Marx in 1847. The contents cover the long-term implications of capitalism (including the basis for collapses similar to the recent recessions) and the social relations that are inherent to private ownership of the means of production.

The Militarization of Policing:
Defending the Movements, Challenging the Police
Lesley J. Wood Interviewed by Greg Albo
After the killing of Michael Brown in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri in the late summer of 2014, protests erupted, and the Black Lives Matter spread across North America to protest police violence, too often systematically directed at poor and racialized communities.
