[ November 15 - November 16 2025 ]

Collective Liberation, Not Collective Collapse

Between the ecological catastrophe, the erosion of democratic institutions, and the broken promises of international order, the coming period promises the escalation of an ongoing series of overlapping crises. How should we in the Global South understand this pivotal moment? 

Socialism 2025 gathers voices from across the globe to confront capitalism’s crisis and imagine post-neoliberal, emancipatory futures together.
