Socialism conference in Chicago, 2011, July 1st thru 4th
Here's the website:
http://www.facebook.com/l/fd3570Jq5ydsvb5YgfFaZKr_XLA/www.socialismconference.org/
Here is a preview of some of the talk we can look forward to this year:
Capitalism, Climate Change, and the Future of Humanity • Obama and
Black Politics • Is a Second Recession Coming? • Breaking the Siege of
Gaza • Is Human Nature a Barrier to Socialism? • The ABC's of Marxism
• Can a Revolution Happen Here?
The registration cost is $80 for all 4 days. That might sound like a
lot, but you can easily go to 5 or 6 talks every day! If you can only
make it for one day it's only $35.
FREE CHILDCARE is provided!
In the past we have crammed as many people as possible into hotel
rooms so it's more affordable for everyone.
