Beyond the Socialist Impasse: Remembering Leo Panitch
June 5th 12-6PM EST, Online
On June 5th Left Forum and the Socialist Register are commemorating the life and spirit of Leo Panitch. The Left Forum is sponsoring a series of online panels which underline three major foundations of Panitch’s corpus of research, teaching, and activism: (1) Re-imagining Socialist Parties and Practice; (2) Debating Socialist Strategies Post-Pandemic; and (3) The State and Global Capitalism. Everyone who knew Leo recognized that he was serious about constructing a non-utopian socialist society. Speakers include: Frances Fox Piven, Greg Albo, Steve Maher, Minqi Li, Michalis Spourdalikis, Meaghan Day, Hilary Wainwright, Arun Gupta, Peter Bratsis, Barbara Epstein, Bhaskar Sunkara, Trevor Ngwane, Sam Gindin, Zhun Xu, Jayati Ghosh, Nicole Aschoff, Clyde Barrow & Doug Henwood. This fundraiser is intended to launch an ongoing educational series inspired by Leo’s work. Please register at the link below. Zoom details will be sent out closer to the date of the event.
