18:30 (6:30 pm) - Socialism and Sovereignty Today: Korea w/the People’s Forum

In 1945, the Korean people freed their lands and people from Japanese colonialism, ridding themselves from imperialist pillage and violence. Anti-colonial resistance was militant, with peasants, communists, student movements etc. all taking up the struggle for national liberation. In an effort to destroy the independent socialist construction in Korea, the U.S. divided the country at the 38th parallel, launching a war on the socialist advancement in the north. Since then, Korea’s sovereignty has been constantly under attack, with the attempts of reunification being jeopardized by U.S. imperialist interest and the constant demonization of North Korea. As the US militarily escalates in the region, understanding the Korean struggle for sovereignty and reunification is a vital front in the global anti-imperialist struggle.

18:30 (6:30 pm) - Socialism and Sovereignty Today: Venezuela w/the People’s Forum

Emanating from the relentless pursuit of self-determination in the face of imperialism, resistance and sovereignty are common expressions in Venezuela. The continued interference of the United States in the electoral process is characteristic of the regime change schemes that have been orchestrated to undermine the Bolivarian revolution and the socialist project. Despite numerous attempts to subvert the will of the Venezuelan people and destabilize their country and the region, the people have demonstrated a fortified commitment to defend the revolutionary process and rebuke the U.S.’s attempts at regime change. Venezuela’s resistance is a beacon for nations under similar threats, showcasing the importance of standing firm against external pressures to preserve national integrity and the welfare of its citizens.
