ZOOM LINK https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81133350622?pwd=dUUyUWppbWt6djVTaElISUhocXpSUT09 Silicon Valley Bank – previously the 16th largest bank in the US and reportedly a source of funding for half of all the tech startups in the US – has collapsed. It’s now become clear the more general banking crisis that has emerged is not due simply to a rogue, mismanaged bank that over-extended itself during the recent tech boom and then somehow mysteriously imploded in just 72 hours, March 7-9, until seized by the FDIC on the morning of March 10, 2023. Deeper, more systemic forces … Continued

It’s been a long, hard-fought battle, and though the work isn’t over, there is a lot to celebrate. So we thought we’d invite you to come join us to do that. RSVP here for a reminder. … Continued

 Online. Register here Are we about to lose even the inadequate public transportation we have? Could a just and sustainable public transportation system really meet our needs better than reliance on private cars? Public transit agencies experienced drastic financial losses as ridership plummeted during the pandemic. Ridership is going back up slowly, but not to its former levels — and soon the federal emergency funding that was keeping our transit agencies going will end. Public transportation advocates throughout California are fighting for increased state funding for local transit agencies to save … Continued

Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library: Alexander Dugin and the Origins of the ‘Red-Brown Alliance’ Myth.
@ Online
Apr 23 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm
The loss of socialism is not as permanent as it appears and until capitalism’s inherent contradictions are resolved, its resurgence is not as improbable as Dugin suggests. Until then, we as Marxists should not dismiss those who have picked up the mantle of anti-imperialism since the demise of the former Soviet Union, no matter which political form it takes shape. By denouncing Dugin as a “fascist” and treating his work as unworthy of serious consideration, one is only showing that he is right to say that Marxism has become … Continued
