70 Years since the start of WWII October 5, 2009

David North, national chairman of the Socialist Equality Party and international chairman of the editorial board of the World Socialist Web Site, will give a lecture in which he will explain the implications of WWII and its effects on today's society. The lecture will address the lessons of the war for today, amidst the eruption of the deepest economic and financial crisis since the Great Depression that is once again fueling a drive towards colonial-style conquest by all the major powers. North will discuss and explain why the independent political mobilization of the working class remains the only means of opposing the renewed dangers of an economic and military catastrophe for the peoples of the world.

A question and answer forum will follow the lecture.

This event is hosted by the International Students for Socialist Equality (ISSE) at San Diego State.
