A report from a unique meet-up at the Socialism 2025 conference. This is the third in a series of reports from the conference held in Chicago in July 2025.
In the first report, Axel Fair-Schulz provided an overview of the conference and some of its key activities. In the second report, Lettie Kazian spotlighted the “art of radicalization” at the conference through music, theater, film, visual art, and literature.
One of the most interesting sessions of the Socialism 2025 conference was a meet-up titled Rebuilding Revolutionary Organizations: A Meet-Up. Although not a traditional panel, it featured several speakers and a subsequent audience discussion, involving both in-person and online participants.
The official title disclosed much about what listeners could expect to hear, at least in terms of the overarching topic.
