Join the PSMLS as we read passages from "Communism vs Fascism" by former CPUSA General Secretary William Z. Foster. Cold War Propaganda, which began with monopoly media moguls like William Randolph Hearst who knew the American working class hated fascist barbarism, tried to obfuscate the working class and pro-democracy movements by equating Socialism with fascism. In reality, the socialist system was the polar opposite of fascism, which is the most openly terrorist, chauvinist, and imperialist form of finance capital.

Tonight, we will be working together with the Cervantes Fraternal Society to discuss a brief history of the Panama Canal. We will discuss how and why Panama broke off from Greater Colombia in the late 1800s. We will also discuss how the US used the Panama Canal for its imperialist gains.

The US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th and August 8th 1945 were the first and only time nuclear weapons were used in on a civilian population. The nuclear bombings have long been pushed as “necessary evils” by the US bourgeois state. Tonight the Peoples School along with the Asian-American Friendship Congress (aafc.us.org) seek to dispel this myth and show these acts for the atrocities they were. Through education, the peace loving Americans and the people of the world shall never be duped into supporting nuclear aggression anymore.
