'Capitalism is Organized Crime!'

May 19 Socialism Conference in LA

THIS SATURDAY, May 19, 11am-5pm
LA City College, 855 N Vermont Ave

In the richest country in history with millions left unemployed, dying from lack of health care, being kicked out of their homes, suffering devastating cuts to social services, facing crushing student debt, and more, capitalism has proven to be nothing more than an organized criminal enterprise by the only people who reap the benefits: a tiny clique of parasitic billionaires.

We can organize and fight back. Join us for expert panels, workshops, and discussion about the criminality of capitalism and how we can win a new system based on equality and meeting human need. Click here to register for the conference now.
