PGH DSA's Political Education Committee is hosting a reading group for Marx's Inferno, by William Clare Roberts.
Even if you haven't read Capital, this book will be an enlightening journey into the different theories of socialism prevalent in Marx's later adult life. How did republican political movements and the fight for democracy interact with the rise of industrial capitalism? Who were Marx's major theoretical opponents on the Left? What was Capital meant to do for its readers, and how has it been received? We'll discuss all these questions and more during this reading group.

Control of our own bodies is a fundamental human right which is frequently under attack by fascists. The Bodily Autonomy Committee strives to realize bodily autonomy for all individuals through reproductive freedom and freedom for individuals to choose how their bodies align to their genders.

Workers have tremendous power to fight back against a system that treats them like dirt. As socialists, we believe the workplace is a key site of struggle that connects members of the working class and shows them the collective power they have to win a better world.

Labor committee meets on the 4th Monday of each month at 6:30PM over Zoom. RSVP for the zoom link and agenda.

Encounters with non-socialists of many stripes - from the socialism-skeptical to the socialism-curious - are opportunities to listen, connect, and even find new comrades.

Join us to discuss how to prepare for these conversations ahead of the winter holiday season!
