Ania Aizman speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2022. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine exacerbated a stifling political atmosphere within Russia, leading to crackdowns, suppression, and the fleeing of dissidents. At the same time, many Russian leftists have drawn inspiration from the Belarusian opposition, leading to instances of sabotage and a broad “railway war” against the government. This session will take stock of the situation in Russia, the Russian opposition to Putin, and discuss prospects for the future.

Rabab Elnaiem, Muzan Alneel, and Sara Abbas, a recording from the Socialism 2022 Conference. The Sudanese Revolution of 2019 is one of the highpoints of the past few years wave of global resistance. The uprising that ousted president Omar al-Bashir sparked a revolutionary process in Sudan that is still undergoing. After a tenuous power-sharing agreement with the military, an military coup that was reversed, and resignation of the civilian head of the transitional government the Sudanese people remain a highly organized combative revolutionary force from below. This talk will cover lessons of that struggle with speakers from Sudan and especially look at the lessons of the bottom-up organizing of the resistance committees and talk about the path ahead for the revolutionary movement.

Sophie Lewis in conversation with Rosie Warren, a recording from the Socialism 2022 Conference. When have "family values" limited the left? What did utopianists in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries mean, exactly, when they said "abolish the family"? And which family, in a white-supremacist settler-colony, should we abolish? This session will explore how to decenter the private nuclear household as a source of care, and what that means for left politics and strategy.
