This chapter features a live discussion from the Socialism 2024 conference, addressing U.S. immigration policy and mass incarceration, as introduced through an ad for 'Unbuild Walls' by Silky Shaw. Speakers emphasize the need for adaptive strategies and political engagement in light of ongoing socio-political crises, such as the situation in Gaza.
Featuring Amna Akbar, Gabe Winant, and Thea Riofrancos on the American political conjuncture: the centrality of Palestine, the contradictions of left electoralism, renewed liberal militarism, the return of Obama-ism, the state of the labor and climate movements—and more. Recorded live at Socialism 2024 in Chicago.
