Capitalism has taught us that a society structured around an endless quest for profit and the pursuit of individual self-interest is natural; as socialists, we identify capitalism as the artificially imposed set of relations that it is. The Education Committee seeks to challenge what is understood to be “common sense” under capitalism and offer ongoing opportunities to expand our collective understanding of socialist concepts, histories, and strategies. The committee’s Das Kapital (Didn’t Do The) Reading Discussion, monthly Movie Night programming, the Socialist Organizing Class, and other public education events aim to help members of DSA Milwaukee better understand their current context and their tasks ahead, gaining the fluency they need to become public tribunes for socialism.
