SUMMARY:Book launch: Cybernetic Circulation Complex
DESCRIPTION:Big Tech firms dominate the global economy. But what value do they actually produce? In Cybernetic Circulation Complex: Big Tech and Planetary Crisis (Verso\, 2024)\, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni argue that the role of firms like Amazon and Google\, Palantir and Uber\, is in the speeding up and automation of the circulation of commodities. Big Tech aims to subject everything from advertising and shopping\, to logistics and financial services to the level of control and predictability that capital has secured in industrial production. \nBut there is a way out of the multiple crises that Big Tech has helped precipitate. If we are to break their grip on the global economy then it’ll take more than just antitrust legislation or reducing individual time online. What is required instead is a new\, ambitious and comprehensive program of democratic collective planning that can move us beyond capitalism and benefit life on earth over profit. \nThe Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is honoured to host the authors of the book for the Toronto launch of this exciting new book! All are welcome to join us for this timely discussion as we grapple with how to challenge the Big Tech firms that are quickly cementing their control over international commerce and policy.

SUMMARY:FilmSocial Presents: The Day Iceland Stood Still
DESCRIPTION:The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is very pleased to present a special screening of The Day Iceland Stood Still. \nWhat if every woman simply took the day off? The Day Iceland Stood Still is a film that answers that question. In Iceland\, on October 24\, 1975\, women walked out and stopped working. 90% of the women of Iceland refused to work\, cook\, or take care of the children. They brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the “best place in the world to be a woman” today. \nJoin us for the launch of the 2026 season of FilmSocial socialist film screenings! The first screening of the year will be a very special one as we gather for a screening of the incredible 2024 film The Day Iceland Stood Still from celebrated documentarians Pamela Hogan and Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir. We’re very excited that we’ll also be hearing from the filmmakers directly via video message. \nWe’re also honoured to have longtime activist Judy Rebick join us as a very special guest! \nDoors open at 6:30pm.
