When renters fought back: the anti-eviction struggles of the 1930s - Lucas Brunning-Halsall

At the height of the Great Depression, eviction was a constant threat for working-class people. By 1932 the unemployment rate had reached 29 percent, with no sign of economic recovery on the horizon. Abandoned by the system, workers organised to resist eviction and fight for tenant protection. The Communist Party-led Unemployed Workers' Movement showed the way, organising direct militant direct action to keep working class people in their homes, and eventually won a moratorium on evictions in NSW. This talk will explore the relevant lessons of this struggle as we face a new housing crisis. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

A Marxist critique of intersectionality - Monica Sesito

First articulated in the 1980s, intersectionality has its origins in legal theory. It has since been taken up by progressives and others, ostensibly as a way to integrate different forms of oppression into political theory and practice. But like most buzzwords, intersectionality means different things to different people. This session will look at whether it adds anything new to the fight against oppression and the system that causes it. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
