NYC-DSA's Citywide Political Education Committee is proud to present the pilot sessions of Socialism 201.
This
class is designed to be the successor to Socialism 101. There is no
need to have taken Socialism 101 previously, and there are no
prerequisites other than a desire to learn about socialism.
This is Session One, covering historical materialism, and the reading packet can be found here.
While participants are encouraged to do the readings beforehand, there
is no requirement to do so. Classes will be structured to be accessible
to anyone who shows up. Socialism 201 will be accessible to those new to
DSA and to socialism, and will cover material that will be stimulating
to those well versed in socialist traditions. Everyone is welcome!
