Occupy Wall Street: A Marxist Assessment
Presentation by an LRP supporter (me)
Saturday, May 26, 2012; 5:00pm until 7:00pm
Location:
Caritas Village
2509 Harvard Ave., Memphis, TN 38112
Occupy Wall Street captured the attention of the world and galvanized some of the most significant demonstrations in this country since the financial crisis of 2008.
The protests evoked great sympathy from many workers and others suffering from the economic crisis, but the occupations did not spark the mass working-class fight-back we need. Why is that and how can that fight-back happen?
There will be a presentation followed by an open discussion. Please read the analysis at http://lrp-cofi.org/statements/OWS_030112.html to help prepare for the best possible discussion.
(The meeting will take place after the end of the Memphis Socialist Party meeting, so may start a little later than 5.)
