Socialists and the 2018 elections

Monday, August 27, at 9pm Eastern Daylight time.

To build the progressive majority and advance towards socialism, the Left needs to defeat Trump and the far right, who are inflicting huge damage on the people and natural environment of this country and the world. The 2018 elections are a key opportunity to defeat Republicans and shift power towards progressives. What are socialist strategy and tactics for the upcoming elections? What have we learned from recent electoral successes and failures? How do socialists work to support progressives and also build the socialist movement? There will be two presentations followed by discussion.

Christine Riddiough, co-chair of the National Electoral Committee of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) will address topics such as: goals of election work, lessons from DSA electoral campaigns, strategy for November and DSA plans. Christine is also a member of the DSA national political committee and on the steering committee of DSA’s Medicare for All campaign. She has been an activist in the women’s and LGBTQ movements since 1970.

Max Elbaum, author and contributor to Organizing Upgrade website, looks at questions such as, how do we convert the energy we see in the streets to electoral power? How do we fight racism and defend immigrants while setting a strong class pole? Max is a historian, author and social activist. His book on the “new communist movement” of the 1970s and 80s, Revolution in the Air: Sixties Radicals turn to Lenin, Mao and Che, is highly-regarded and now a standard Left history of the period. He has worked on War Times/Tiempo de Guerras, a publication to fight the Bush administration response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
