Socialist Night School: East Bay Chapter of Democratic Socialists of America

Socialist Night School: East Bay Chapter of Democratic Socialists of America

Who is DSA?

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the country's largest socialist organization, and East Bay DSA is the fifth-largest chapter in the US. We are working for both an economy and society in Oakland, Berkeley, and throughout the East Bay that are run democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few. Attend an event to find out how you can get involved in improving the lives of working people.

This Event

“Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past.” - Karl Marx

This history is the history of class struggle. To understand the class struggle is to understand the fundamental conflict within capitalism, between capitalists and workers, and the means to move beyond it. It keeps our hope for a better world from becoming sentimental and anemic and empowers it with the means for fundamental change. Without an understanding of class struggle, socialists have no political program outside of a moral stance that the current system is unjust. But with that understanding lies the power for putting the wheels of history back into motion.
