Continuing our series on the History of U.S. Imperialism from where we left off at the end of WW2, we will be delving into the early years of the international struggle between western imperialism and the worlds’ socialist movement following the Second World War, looking at events during the Cold War from about 1945-1960. This will include happenings domestically, such as severe repression of the communist movement, the civil rights movement and its connection to the communist movement and the movement against conscription. This will also of course include the events internationally, such as the U.S. military interventions in Greece, Korea, Iran, Guatemala, Cuba and more, as well as the nuclear flashpoints, what was happening in Germany, US-Soviet Relations etc. This will be the first of 3 classes on the Cold War period, the next 2 will be in September, with Height of the Cold War and October with End of the Cold War.
If you’re new to PSMLS, the school provides free public collective education every week on Tuesdays and Thursdays on a variety of topics from a Marxist-Leninist perspective. You don’t have to be a member of anything or identify as any certain ideology to attend. The PSMLS is a Party of Communists USA initiated and sponsored school, but it is not a party school, which is great because it allows for a wide variety of different perspectives and opinions to be brought forth which don’t necessarily reflect the party line. If you are interested, you can join the PCUSA as an associate member at https://partyofcommunistsusa.net/join-the-pcusa/
Defend the Peoples School and Party of Communists USA! Last year we were attacked and sabotaged by ultraleft wreckers that tried to steal the PSMLS and destroy the PCUSA. They failed, but they will be held accountable and there are still things they took from us that we’ve not got back, like videos, imagery, audio etc. That is why we still need donations to the legal drive. If you support the school and want to see us continue to improve and keep delivering this education 51 weeks a year, please pitch in whatever you can and support the GoFundMe for the legal drive @ https://www.gofundme.com/f/legal-fund-to-defend-against-wreckers. Anything helps!
The People’s School needs you!
