30th at 7pm in the Chapel Hill Public Library's
downstairs conference room. The topic is what socialism is,
why it beats capitalism, and the challenges. A recommended
reading is Albert Einstein's short essay,
"Why Socialism?", published in May 1949 by
"Why Socialism?", published in May 1949 by
Monthly Review, online at www.monthlyreview.org/598einst.htm .
Why did one of the greatest physicists say that an
economy planned to meet human needs "is the only one
way to eliminate" the "grave evils" of capitalism,
such as bought government and media, unemployment,
economic depressions, and what he considered worst of
all, the "crippling of the social consciousness of
individuals." We could also discuss questions
Einstein raises, such as how to prevent bureaucracy from
oppressing people's democratic rights in a socialist
system.
The Triangle Socialist Forum is a monthly non-partisan
discussion of issues relating to socialism and broader
progressive topics.
Start 2008 off right (or left) by considering the
future that is possible!
