Summer Study Series: Party & Class

This week we begin Part Two of our Summer Study Series -- Lenin & the Revolutionary Party.
Given the new era of class struggle and fight back against austerity and oppression, the question of how to best organize our side has a new urgency. Come discuss the role of the revolutionary party and learn from the history of the Bolsheviks, who carried out the first successful socialist revolution.
