It looks like these folks hold a lot of these events. At the link above we find another entry called, "Left Forum 2010: Rekindling the Radical Imagination." That post includes this video, featuring some heavyweights of the neo-communist left, "The Center Cannot Hold: Rekindling the Radical Imagination." I doubt the "radical imagination" needs much kindling. Frances Fox Piven's featured at the start of the video, and she's commemorating the late Howard Zinn. Plus, actor Brian Jones does a rendition of the play, "Marx in Soho." Well, if you're going to have a Marx revival, now's a good time to do it, with Obama's Crypto-Marxist economic crisis crashing the nation, and healthcare being nationalized. No wonder these creeps are rekindling things:
The final plenary at the 2010 LEFT FORUM conference in New York features Francis Fox Piven, Brian Jones, Arundhati Roy and Noam Chomsky. The presentation begins with a memorial for the beloved historian, Howard Zinn, and proceeds to the theme of the 2010 conference: "The Center Cannot Hold - Rekindling the Radical Imagination."
If you're pressed for time, scroll forward to Arundhati Roy at about 30 minutes, where she argues that the "biggest scam" in the world is democracy. Big round of applause at that ... then Noam Chomsky ...
