Lenin And the Politics of Rehearsal

Socialism Conference

Ruth Wilson Gilmore speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. 100 years after Lenin’s death, his exhortations to learn and think in the concrete remain urgent for our movements. What does it mean to approach our political practice not as an abstract set of rules, but as a collective rehearsal of coming worlds? And how can we perceive, expand, and connect contemporary world-experiments rehearsing abolitionist, communist, and anti-imperialist movement around the planet? The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
