WORLD SOCIALIST MOVEMENT ONLINE MEETINGS
BIG TECH AND THE STATE
Speaker: Piers Hobson
Despite all the artificial intelligence, corporations bigger than states, and assertions of ‘technofeudalism’ replacing capitalism, the capitalist still seeks to maximise profits by exploitation and the state still acts as the executive committee of the whole capitalist class.
Friday 8 November 19.30 (GMT)
THE US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Discussion about the result.
YET MORE WAYS THAT SOCIALISM CAN HEAL THE WORLD
Speaker: Paddy Shannon
Friday 22 November 19.30 (GMT)
WORK
Speaker: Paul Bennett
Studs Terkel’s book Working begins, ‘This book, being about work, is, by its very nature, about violence – to the spirit as well as to the body … To survive the day is triumph enough for the walking wounded among the great many of us.’ This talk will look at one form of work, employment under capitalism, and will mainly make use of the words of workers themselves, as recorded by Terkel and others. We’ll ask why employment is like this, and whether it is necessary.
