The Role of Culture Plays in the Revolutionary Process
Jerome Scott was an organizer in the auto plants in the 1960s and 1970s, co-founder and former co-director of Project South, popular educator, contributor of many articles about social movements and organizing, and author of a book, forthcoming from U. Georgia Press on the History of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers. He serves on the National Council of the League of Revolutionaries for a New America.
Culture and R/Evolution:
In the opening session of “Culture and R/Evolution: A Dialogue of Revolutionaries,” Jerome Scott frames the program in the context of a worldwide advance of fascism. He opened the door to discussion on why fascism at this moment in history. What, he asks, distinguishes the fascism of today from the fascism of the 1930s? How is fascism related to the problem of protecting capitalism? What then is the role of revolutionaries – and in particular cultural workers – in this moment?
“Culture and R/Evolution” was a program organized by the Cultural Committee of the League of Revolutionaries for A New America and cosponsored by 100 Thousand Poets for Change, the US National Coordinator of the World Poetry Movement and Poetry for the Planet. It was held on November 11, 2023, on ZOOM. Watch the video above.
