Discussion will focus on how parts of the government work behind the scenes to get what they want through extralegal means - secret alliances, criminal contacts, and more.

Reading/listening list:

Doors open at 18:00 for a 18:30 start.
------------------------
What stance should socialists take when their country is involved in a war? How does the media twist perceptions of conflicts in order to garner support at home? Do foreign interventions ever achieve their stated goals? Using season 4 of Blowback as our starting point, we will discuss these questions and many more across bi-weekly sessions at PRSC. All knowledge levels welcome, come along and get involved!

These sessions will be held at 18:30 on Tuesdays on Oct 17th, Oct 31st, Nov 14th, Nov 28th, and Dec 12th, with two more in the new year.

Don't worry if you haven't listened to the previous episodes or come to earlier sessions! Each session will stand alone.
