“We as a left must build a politics of broad, working-class solidarity to defeat fascism either now or farther down the road than we can currently envision.”

Amidst unfolding environmental disaster, ongoing genocide, and a lack of faith in public institutions, fascist and anti-democratic movements continue to gain political ground, both at home and abroad. How can working class movements respond to these fundamental threats? How can we build a real alternative that can challenge the dominant politics of division and distrust?

To speak to this pressing topic, The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is thrilled to host Adolph Reed Jr. for his re-scheduled special guest lecture, THE FASCIST THREAT: What it Means for Working Class Politics.

Adolph Reed Jr. has been involved in working class politics for half a century. He is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the editor and author of several books on the relationship between class and racism. His writing and opinion pieces have appeared in academic journals and popular magazines including The Progressive, The Village Voice, The New Republic, The Nation, Dissent, and nonsite.org. His latest book is No Politics but Class Politics (Eris Press, 2023), co-authored with Walter Benn Michaels.

Doors open for the event on Friday February 9 at 6:30PM with the talk beginning at 7:00PM, at East End United Church - Eastminster Campus in Toronto. The lecture and audience Q&A will be followed by a social and refreshments. A cash bar will be serving beverages throughout the evening, all proceeds supporting the LPSSE’s programming in 2024.

Please note that this will be an in-person event. Please stay tuned for online LPSSE offerings in the future.
