What is Socialism?
For our first session of the new semester of Socialist Night School, we’ll tackle the question of socialism.
• What is capitalism?
• What is socialism?
• How does what DSA does help us get there?
• How can you get involved (or more involved) in DSA?
While everyone is welcome, this session is designed for newer members and those who are relatively new to socialism. The session was led by Socialist Night School co-organizer David Kaib.
Below, you will find a recommended reading list and a recording of the session.
