Joel Britton, SWP candidate for California State Assembly, and campaign
supporter John Chandler talk to Nakeisha Williams in Oakland as she
subscribes to Militant, June 11. Chandler will be attending his first
SWP-sponsored Active Workers Conference.
The 2021 Active Workers Conference at Wittenberg University in
Springfield, Ohio, July 22-24, is fast approaching. It is the first
Socialist Workers Party-sponsored international gathering in nearly two
years due to government pandemic lockdowns and travel restrictions. The
party is asking all those who want to attend to make sure they are fully
vaccinated.
The conference will feature talks by Socialist Workers Party leaders
Jack Barnes, Dave Prince and Mary-Alice Waters on world politics and key
questions facing working people today. There will also be classes on
lessons from the history of the labor and communist movement, including
the class-struggle road to Black liberation and the fight for the
unconditional recognition of Israel and against Jew-hatred, and the
still living example the deepening socialist revolution in Cuba and its
Marxist leadership set six decades ago.
A panel on plans to step up campaigning for the SWP and Communist
Leagues, featuring candidates and campaign supporters, will conclude the
conference. The schedule includes time for informal discussion with
conference participants and evening social events.
On July 25 there will be a meeting of SWP supporters to discuss efforts
to advance production of Pathfinder literature and raise funds for the
party’s work.
The conference takes place as more workers are back to work as hiring
increases and government shutdowns lifted. Across North America some
important strikes and union-organizing drives have broken out, a sign
that growing numbers are looking for a way to resist attacks by the
bosses. Out of the conference, volunteer teams are being organized to go
out across the country to introduce the party’s campaign in cities and
towns and to bring solidarity to striking workers.
If you are interested in building a revolutionary working-class party
and would like to discuss attending the conference, contact the SWP or
Communist League branch nearest you listed in the directory.

Irvin D. Yalom “Truth," Nietzsche continued, "is arrived at through
disbelief and skepticism, not through a childlike wishing something were
so! Your patient's wish to be in God's hands is not truth. It is simply
a child's wish—and nothing more! It is a wish not to die, a wish for the
eveastingly bloated nipple we have labeled 'God'! Evolutionary theory
scientifically demonstrates God's redundancy—though Darwin himself had
not the courage to follow his evidence to its true conclusion. Surely,
you must realize that we created God, and that all of us together now
have killed him.” ― Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept
