FREE in the LOUNGE
In the wake of the Marikana massacre, left groups of all stripes are

calling resistance inevitable. What does opposition to post-colonial

capitalism look like in South Africa today? How has the anti-apartheid

labor militancy of the 1980s translated into anti-capitalist struggle

since the transition?

Come see former Black Panther Gerald Smith and Berkeley sociology Ph.D.

student Zachary Levenson discuss these issues at an open forum at La

Peña on Friday, September 7 at 7 pm. Sanders was instrumental in

organizing Bay Area solidarity actions with the anti-apartheid

struggle and will speak about black labor militancy in the 1980s.

Levenson recently returned from 6 months in South Africa and will

describe the terrain of struggle and nature of the capitalist state

after apartheid.
