SUMMARY:Fighting to Win: Ten Week Course Feat. John Clarke
DESCRIPTION:A Ten Week Course for Union and Community Activists Facilitated by John Clarke\, Former Organizer with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP). \nUnions and social movements today are operating in a very challenging situation. There is great economic uncertainty\, the worsening impact of climate change and a global situation marked by the growing threat of conflict and war. When workers strike or communities under attack take to the streets\, it seems that victories are much much harder to win and past gains more difficult to defend. \nThis course will grapple with these questions by looking at the forms of exploitation and oppression that exist in society and the means by which the power structure acts to limit and contain our struggles. The course will move towards a discussion of how our movements can overcome the factors that hold them back and to fight to win! \nMondays at 6pm beginning September 8\nLocation: Bloor-Yonge area of Toronto\nNo course fees; donations gratefully accepted.

SUMMARY:The Possibilities of Left Government in Europe
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to have a left government in Europe\, today or is any attempt toward it going to fail: will political parties capitulate and end up implementing neoliberal policies? How is it possible to actually initiate a process of profound social transformation in an anticapitalist direction? Is it possible to combine government with forms of counter-power or even dual power from below? Is it possible to resist the systemic violence induced by capitalist globalisation and financial\, monetary and institutional configurations such as those of the Eurozone? What role can political organisations play in such a perspective? These are some of the crucial open strategic questions that the Left is facing today and which need to be discussed… \nPanagiotis Sotiris is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology of the University of the Aegean in Mytilene and a journalist. He is an editorial board member of Historical Materialism: Research in Critical Marxist Theory. He has authored and edited many books\, including A Philosophy for Communism? Rethinking Althusser (Brill 2020/ Haymarket 2021) and Crisis\, Movement\, Strategy: The Greek Experience (Brill 2018/Haymarket 2019). His book Hegemony\, Strategy\, Organisation. Reading Gramsci Today is forthcoming with Brill at the Historical Materialism Book Series. \nSept 24th\, at OISE\, Nexus Lounge\, 12th Floor. \nRegister at hcaao.org
