Tom Wetzel, author of Overcoming Capitalism, Strategy for the Working Class in the 21st Century, says:

“We live in a capitalist society. But what are its core features? How could we possibly replace it? I’ll provide some brief answers to these questions, covering two core features: subordination of people as wage-workers, and using nature systematically as a free dumping ground for wastes. Then I’ll discuss a democratic self-organization strategy and how we see this unfolding today in the green unionist fight against environmental devastation.”

After the talk Tom will field questions and then sign books. Our favorite independent bookseller, Renee Rettig of Books on B in Hayward, will be there to sell the books. The event is free.
