Unplug and de-screen by joining your fellow socialists for an evening of arts, crafts, and snacks.

Bring your own knitting, crocheting, sewing, needlepoint, basket weaving, origami, decoupage, doodling, coloring, jewelry-making, or other handmade project to work on and discuss with other socialist art and craft enthusiasts. If you do not have a current project you are working on, come anyways! Paper and drawing materials will be provided for card and envelope making.

We hope this will be the first of many meetings, serving in part as an organizing event to structure future art and craft gatherings. If we have enough interest, we hope to set up a structure in which members have the opportunity to lead the group and share the ins-and-outs of their craft with others who are passionate about art and/or eager to learn.

Laborious Literature: A Milwaukee DSA Book Club Presents: Capitalist Realism - Is There Any Alternative? by Mark Fisher

Come join us to discuss the cult classic analysis of how neoliberalism has engendered a defeatist social logic by late British theorist Mark Fisher! This famous work touches on topics as varied as what particular types of repression have been allowed to prosper in the world of consumer capital, the representation of late capital in media, the epidemics of apathy and nihilism, and how many jobs in the imperial core are structured around performed productivity and how that affects our perceptions of a functional social structure. This is one that many people have many opinions on, ranging from it being a foundational text that spurred them into political action to viewing it merely as an excuse for its author to get some pop culture takes and anti-managerial whinging out of his system; come decide for yourself- or at least have a lively discussion about it. : )
