Convened by Richard Greeman

Sponsored by Marxist Education Project and Victor Serge Foundation

2017 taught us all that “No is not enough.” we need a positive vision of a better world and the roads leading to it. So let’s imagine we are future historians living in a peaceful, egalitarian, democratic society on a damaged, but stabilized, planet in the year 2117. Our project is to look backward a century to the year 2017 (the centenary of the unforeseen 1917 Soviet revolution) and reconstruct how our great-grandparents got us from here - today’s capitalist death-spiral - to there - a livable, sustainable, global society free of oppression and exploitation. We are meeting weekly, in-person at our New York studio and via teleconference with participants across several time zones - including philosopher Peter Hudis in Chicago, scientist David Schwartzman in Washington, DC, social ecologist Brian Tokar in Vermont, and philosopher Samuel Day Fassbinder in southern California - with the goal of collectively creating a popular future fiction of a realistically plausible better world with the potential to go viral and become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Richard Greeman, lifelong internationalist, is best known for his studies and translations of novelist and revolutionary Victor Serge (1890-1947).
