Monthly Activist Meeting

08/31/2008 - 3:08pm

If Things are So Bad, Why is Everyone so Quiet?
Activist Uses of Gramsci's Theory of Hegemony

Housing Foreclosures! Rising Gas Prices! Never-ending
war! Corporate controlled elections! The standard
left response to these problems is to issue
apocalyptic proclamations forecasting the immediate
demise of capitalism. Yet, despite such predictions,
mass acceptance of the system continues to be the
norm. Join the NYC Local of the Socialist Party USA
for an examination of strategic uses of Antonio
Gramsci's theory of hegemony. Gramsci's understanding
of where, why and how consent is produced has informed
volumes of academic work but has had little influence
on left-wing organizing in North America. Find out
how we can better examine, identify, and disrupt the
weakest points in the capitalist system and re-build a
vibrant socialist project.

Sunday August 31, 3:00 pm

A. J. Muste Institute 339 Lafayette Street (between
Bleecker & Bond), Manhattan, NYC.
