Socialist Education Project webinar

CCDS/Socialist Education Project Webinar – Monday Oct. 22, 2018 — 9pm (edt)

Bernie Sanders and the International Progressive Front

According to Sanders, a global struggle is taking place with nothing less than the future of the planet at stake. A new authoritarian axis has emerged based on concentration of wealth and power and destruction of democracy. Trump and rightwing extremists in Europe and elsewhere have created a common front, with close contact, shared tactics and in some cases the same funders. Sanders and Yanis Varoufakis identify the material interests and grassroots movements within countries that can be the basis for challenging the new global authoritarianism. They call on progressives to come together to counter this axis and create an international movement for shared prosperity, security and dignity for all people.

Presentations followed by discussion. Below are links to the Guardian articles for reference, by Bernie Sanders and Yanis Varoufakis
