The resurgence of class struggle and the fight for socialism in 2020
Joseph Kishore, national secretary of the Socialist Equality Party
2019 was a year of global mass protest in Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, France, Algeria, Lebanon, Sudan, Haiti and many other countries. Millions of people filled the streets against social inequality.
This global wave of social struggle swept through the United States, where 50,000 autoworkers engaged in the largest auto strike in more than forty years.
The word “socialism” is gaining popularity, especially among young people and workers. Billions are opposed to unending war, unprecedented levels of social inequality, the rise of fascism and authoritarianism, environmental degradation and all the consequences of capitalism.
But does socialism mean working within the same capitalist political parties who are responsible for inequality and war, as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claim? No. Genuine socialism means mobilizing the strength of billions of workers, dismantling the militaries, seizing control of the corporations and reorganizing the world economy to meet social need, not private profit.
This meeting will review the state of world politics and outline a program and perspective for the working class to fight back.
