Socialism: What it is and How We Get There

Join us for our Fall Kick-off meeting

Thursday, September 16th at 7:30pm

RIT Library, in the "Idea Factory"

A presentation by local activist RJ Bean followed by a question, answer and discussion session.

The word "socialism" has returned to the mainstream of American political debate. But there are widespread misconceptions about what socialism is—and what it isn't.

Republicans fret that the U.S. is fast becoming a socialist country— with government spending on bank bailouts and Obama's health care reform. But the genuine tradition of “socialism from below” means more than just state intervention in the economy.

Socialism is really about the struggle to oppose discrimination in all its forms and to put the needs of working people before corporate profits.

Come to a meeting sponsored by the International Socialist Organization to discuss the idea of socialism—and socialist strategies for changing the world.
