  • Wars on the People: Repression and Resistance at Home and Abroad

    Wars on the People: Repression and Resistance at Home and Abroad

    The April 9 roundtable will take up some of the important experiences of the rising movements resisting the domestic and global rampages of U.S. imperialism under the Trump administration, with perspectives on how these struggles can become powerful, unified and politically independent.

    From beating back ICE terror in Minneapolis to opposing the U.S.-Israeli wars on Palestine, Iran and Lebanon, and the U.S. threats to Cuba and Latin America, we see the critical necessity of bringing the struggles together for a common purpose of collective liberation.

    The roundtable will discuss how concrete experiences of May Day organizing can connect domestic resistance to MAGA authoritarianism to opposition to U.S. wars and imperialism as a whole.

    The panelists will give brief initial responses to focused strategic questions, followed by open discussion. JOIN US!

    YOU ARE INVITED TO A BOOK TALK AND DISCUSSION
    Sunday, January 25, 2026
    1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time
    THE POUM, REPUBLIC, REVOLUTION
    AND COUNTERREVOLUTION
    Speaker: Book author Andy Durgan

    The Spanish Civil War, 1936-39 was a pivotal moment in the 20th century history of revolutionary hope, failure and betrayal. It is also the story of fascism’s rise and ultimately the beginning of World War II. Andy Durgan, author of a newly translated book on the Party of Marxist Unification (POUM), will outline the development of this distinctive revolutionary movement and the role it played in the Spanish revolution.

    Durgan has previously authored The Spanish Civil War (2007), Comunismo, revolución y movimiento obrero en Cataluña 1920-1936. Los orígenes del POUM (2016) and Voluntarios por la revolución. La milicia internacional del POUM en la Guerra Civil española (2022). He was historical advisor on Ken Loach’s 1995 award-winning film, Land and Freedom.

    Following Durgan’s presentation there will be time for discussion.

    Sponsored by the U.S. socialist organizations International Marxist Humanist Organization, Solidarity, Socialist Horizon, Tempest & Workers Voice.
