Burn out & the fight for a better world

The working class has a long list of victories and defeats: the Paris Communes of 1871, progressive movements in the 1960s, the 2011 Arab Spring and much more. These events have a profound impact on the psychology of those directly involved and the generations that follow. What does the toll of constant struggle for a better future have on the psyche? How does living in a state of constant oppression shape our ability to imagine a socialist future? We will be exploring the psychological impact of leftwing organizing to prevent burnout and ensure the longevity of revolutionary party building.  Join us on zoom as we explore Hannah Proctor’s new book Burnout: The Emotional Experience of Political Defeat.
