• Socialist Summer School at TPF: The People vs. Billionaires

    IN THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE

  • The system has reached a breaking point. As Elon Musk becomes the world’s first trillionaire, amassing unimaginable wealth while working families across the world struggle simply to survive, we make the case that socialism is not only possible right here in the belly of the beast, but urgently necessary. Through lessons on class struggle, revolutionary theory, and the tools of working-class organizing, we’ll examine the historic opening to build a socialist future that takes on the billionaire class once and for all.
