Another World Is Possible: The Case for Socialism

TWO MEETINGS IN CHICAGO THIS WEEK. JOIN THE DISCUSSION!

Capitalism isn't working. The international economy has disintegrated, working people have lost jobs, health care and the public services they have relied on. Universities are cutting student programs and increasing tuition, thus making students pay for budget shortfalls. The federal government claims to be “broke” while distributing trillions of dollars to banks and US Empire.

Yet, there is an alternative to a world controlled by greed in the interested of a few. That alternative is socialism. A world where students can run our universities, and workers can control their workplaces. A world where we can make sure everyone has housing, education, food, healthcare, and the childcare they need--without anyone making a profit off it.

Another world is possible.
