SUMMARY:Introduction to Socialism
DESCRIPTION:Curious about socialism? Interested about if it is really possible and taking a sober look at the problems it will face? Want to discuss how to begin affecting change right now?  \nIn these uncertain and dangerous times\, The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is a space to listen\, discuss and challenge the contemporary relevancy of socialism.   \nThe School’s flagship course\, Introduction to Socialism\, is designed for both those experienced activists always looking to learn more\, and those newer to socialist ideas and full of questions. It will not only provide a unique venue for collectively tackling important topics\, but also a welcoming space where any question relevant to socialist organizing\, no matter how basic or advanced\, can be raised and discussed. \nInstead of providing exact definitions and historical readings\, the course will focus on understanding the structures of capitalism in order to challenge it and begin building a better world. We will rely on the ideas and lived experience of participants to enhance the presentations\, examples\, and collective discussions that make up each session. \nOver 8 weeks we’ll explore topics such as what and who is the working class\, what makes socialism different\, how we can overcome political barriers\, how socialists can approach elections and winning reforms in the existing state\, what role trade unions and political parties have played for working class struggles\, and much more!  \nWhen: Sunday September 27\, weekly until November 22. All classes 2:30-5pm (skipping Thanksgiving weekend)\nWhere: Jubilee United Church – 6000 Sussex Ave\, Burnaby\, BC V5H 3C2\nWho: Anyone and everyone curious about socialism!

SUMMARY:Socialism and Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is thrilled to be supporting the latest edition of Socialism and Capitalism organized by Socialist Project Fredericton. This is a new version of the course\, now held over one weekend!  \nOver the two days we will examine the historical development of socialism as a response to the continual evolution of capitalism. We ask: “What is socialism now and how did we get here?” And we ask: “What is capitalism now and how has it changed?” All the while we trace the evolution of socialism as an analytical and political paradigm responding to the harmful and often violent effects of capitalism. Throughout our journey we will stress that the essence of socialism involves the desire to get beyond the horrors and trauma caused by capitalism. \nThis course will run 9:00am-5:30pm on October 17 and 9:00am-1:30pm on October 18. Participants are encouraged to attend the entire weekend\, if able! Venue details will be shared with registrants in the weeks leading up to the course.
