Dec 2, 2025 - PYM Course on Imperialism

When: December 2nd to 11th, 6:30pm

From December 2-11, PYM will host a hybrid course on US imperialism at the People's Forum. This course, America's Forever Wars in the Middle East, will equip participants with an essential understanding of US imperialism, Israel's role within it, and its consequences for working people in the US and around the world.

Over the course of 4 sessions, we will illuminate how it is the imperialist system, and not just the ideological positions of any one politician in office, that keeps America at war and invested in genocide and the destabilization of the Middle East.

Without understanding the imperialist system that underlies the ongoing drive for war, and that has attempted to destroy the Palestinian people and those who stand with them, we cannot understand how to confront it.
