Nov 6, 2025 - News Media and the Far Right

When: November 6th, 5pm
Where: George Vari Engineering & Computing, 245 Church St

The influence of news coverage on the rise of far-right ideologies is undeniable. Capitalism's Safety Net investigates how the liberal media--often seen as a force for democracy--can, in fact, reinforce authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, xenophobic, racist, and reactionary politics. By tracing the connections between dominant ideology, capitalist crises, and the political economy of the news industry, this book exposes how mass media systems often serve to legitimize far-right movements while undermining radical left-wing alternatives. Moving beyond media critique, it offers a deeper analysis of how the capitalist mode of production shapes the very frameworks through which information, power, and ideology circulate.

Speakers:
- Dr. Peter Milonas, Ontario Tech University and Toronto Metropolitan University
- Dr. Anna M. Agathangelou, York University
- Dr. John Simoulidis, York University
- Dr. Tanner Mirrlees, Ontario Tech University

Sep 8, 2025 - Fighting To Win

When: Monday September 8th, 6pm

A Ten-Week Course for Union and Community Activists Facilitated by John Clarke, former organizer with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP).

Unions and social movements today are operating in a very challenging situation. There is great economic uncertainty, the worsening impact of climate change and a global situation marked by the growing threat of conflict and war. When workers strike or communities under attack take to the streets, it seems that victories are much much harder to win, and past gains more difficult to defend.

This course will grapple with these questions by looking at the forms of exploitation and oppression that exist in society and the means by which the power structure acts to limit and contain our struggles. The course will move towards a discussion of how our movements can overcome the factors that hold them back and to fight to win!
