Dismantling Rape Culture, Dismantling Capitalism Wednesday, February 1st 4pm @ MCTC Room L-3000, 1501 Hennepin Avenue Panel and open discussion hosted by Pride Club, Sisters for Social Justice, and Socialist Alternative.Across the globe this year, tens of thousands have marched to demand an end to rape and a culture which tolerates systemic gender-based violence. But where should the movement go from here? How can real progress be made to stop epidemic levels of rape and pervasive sexual objectification when the corporate media, most politicians, and the legal system treat these problems as inevitable? Socialists argue that the oppression of women and LGBTQ people are intimately linked to capitalism, and dismantling the rape culture means dismantling the wider systems of exploitation and oppression. But is a socialist transformation of society possible? And how can the fight for LGBTQ and women’s rights be linked with the fight against capitalism? Join us for this important discussion.
