In the United States today, most socialists are isolated from the working class. And most stewards and militants have no connection to socialist ideas and organization.

What can change that? We’ll look at successful examples where hundreds of thousands of militants became socialists, from Turin to Johannesburg to Seoul.

We’ll explore how working class consciousness develops, the role of socialist organization, and what we can do today to bring about the fusion of socialist organization and working class struggle.
