The Struggle for Collective Liberation: Class, Oppression, and the Politics of Resistance
Description
Jesse Sharkey, Eric Maroney, and Donna Murch speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by Spectre Journal.
In order to build an effective resistance to Trump’s intensified attacks, we must combine the fight against oppression—including against the right's racist attacks, and its transphobia—with the struggle to build resistance to exploitation in the workplace. In this panel, we will discuss attacks by the right and the Trump administration, and strategies to fight back that effectively combine struggles against exploitation and oppression.
