“Imperialism, Exploitation, and the Role of U.S. Workers in the Global Working-Class Struggle” is presented by Taryn Fivek, adjunct lecturer in economics. Her talk begins with comments on the notion of “American exceptionalism,” then moves on to arguments against two common suppositions: 1) Workers in the U.S. make too much money to be exploited; and 2) Who cares if wages haven’t risen? We have all this cool stuff now! Finally, this webinar addresses how workers can attain global solidarity.

The Communist Party USA is a revolutionary working-class political party founded in 1919 in Chicago, IL.
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit — socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
