Dear Marxism Mailing list, My name is Kaiwen, and I am a student studying math and a member of the Platypus Affiliated Society. If you are free *today* i.e. *Tuesday April 28th*, I would like to invite you all to attend a virtual panel discussion over Zoom on "Socialism in the 21st century?" at *7 PM Pacific/8 PM Mountain/9 PM Central/10 PM Eastern*. Here's the link to join the panel discussion on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/98130211938 <https://zoom.us/j/96101299683> In the early 21st century, socialism has been invoked as a defense against neoliberalism by phenomena such as SYRIZA, Podemos, Jeremy Corbyn, and Bernie Sanders. Moreover, the recent polarization of politics – manifested around Jeremy Corbyn and Brexit in the UK, and Bernie Sanders and Trump in the US – has been welcomed variously as a potential opening for emancipatory politics, political engagement and a renewed imagination of socialism. If socialism has become the goal of the Left in the 21st century, what, then, would be necessary to achieve it? If it has not, what, then, is the Left’s goal and how does it relate to the struggle for socialism? <https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/08/lenin-state-and-revolution-miliband> PANELISTS: Nick Dreidger (a member of the Industrial Workers of the World in Alberta, Canada) Paige Kreisman (Candidate, Oregon House District 42, co-chair of the Portland Democratic Socialists of America and board member of Portland Tenants United) Bob Meister (author of Political Identity: Thinking Through Marx, Professor of Social and Political Thought, UC Santa Cruz) David Walters (Marxists Internet Archive, co-editor of The Selected Works of Eugene Debs) Facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2715124552144284/ <https://www.facebook.com/events/215170119778817/> We hope to see some of those on the Marxism Mailing list there!
