Sophie Lewis at Socialism 2025

Join us in Chicago for a four day conference of socialist politics, education, and community. July 3-6, 2025 Join Sophie Lewis for an unflinching tour of two hundred years of enemy feminisms—from 19th century imperial feminists and police officers to 20th century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today’s anti-abortion, TERF, and Zionist feminists. By way of a reckoning with these counterproductive, violent feminisms, this session will make the case for the bold, liberatory, antifascist feminist politics we need instead. Don’t miss it!

Long live the revolution in Serbia!!

La Marx International On March 15, Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, witnessed the largest demonstration in its history, even larger than the one that overthrew the dictatorship of the genocidal Slobodan Milošević on October 5, 2000.
