The Workers World Party is taking to New York City for a two-day conference to show how to spread socialism around the nation and world, and to explain why the time is ripe for such expansion.

The event, titled “Putting Socialist Revolution on the Table,” kicks off Saturday at the Shabazz Center, and includes panel discussions on Black Lives Matter, with an emphasis on women and LGBT leadership; how to be a revolutionary; and on dispelling myths about China’s socialism.

It also includes the discussion topic “fighting imperialism means building internationalism,” according to an advertisement sent out by the WWP.

Event organizers Teresa Gutierrez, Scott Williams and Monica Moorehead announced hundreds are attending from around the nation.

“They say the growing resistance to deepening economic inequality, and especially to racist police attacks, has awakened not only struggle in the streets but a desire to understand what is behind the growing crisis of the capitalist system,” WWP said. “It should offer a real alternative for any worker, oppressed person or activist wanting to combat the institutionalized racism, poverty and war that is plaguing the globe.”

The group’s second planned panel is aimed at getting into the specifics of spreading socialism – including what those of the far-left can do to team with Black Lives Matter to push the agenda.

“It is called ‘Building Worldwide Solidarity with Black Lives Matter and Migrants’ and will begin after the first panel ends,” WWP said.

Discussions will also include ways socialists can influence the 2016 elections.

It hasn’t dawned on these mush-brained commies that economic inequality has gotten worse under their dear leader, but he himself has gotten richer—far richer—since he ascended to the throne. I also find it delicious irony that these low-lifes call themselves “Workers”. There’s not a single one of them that has ever done, or will ever do a lick of work.

Black lives matter, “With an emphasis on women”. I though it was young black men who were dying in drove at the hands of evil white cops and each other. I guess even in communism gender trumps all.

Hillary has already played the Gender Card (2x) and the Race Card (once) against Bernie. This group, at their meeting, needs to encourage Bernie to take his supporters and run in the General Election as an Independent.

Millenials support socialism because they don't know what it is.

These people are the nadir of the lowest information voter.

It's as if they're saying, "Hey, I'm really stupid. I know nothing about socialism. I know nothing about communism. I've never bothered to learn one thing about either one. I just do what I'm told. I always follow the current fad. I always do whatever is currently cool. I never read or study anything in depth."

. . encourage Bernie to take his supporters and run in the General Election as an Independent.

Hey, now there's a concept. Go for it Bernie!

Republicans are Socialist. These guys are Democrat Stalinists.

As the richer continue to get richer and the poor continue to poorer, which IS happening, it’ll be harder to explain. The problem is most people’s lifestyle will drop but they think they’ll get some of Bill Gates’ money.
