What we’re about
We like to read and discuss books from left-wing authors. We as a group are into improving the world for the neglected and oppressed. We want a more just society for all, not just the winners.
At our core, we believe that a more equitable and just society is possible, one that prioritizes the needs of the many over the interests of the few. We aim to explore the intersection of class, race, gender, and other forms of oppression, and to consider how we can build coalitions and movements that challenge the status quo.
Through our readings, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the political and economic systems that govern our lives, as well as the histories of struggles for liberation and emancipation. We recognize that the ideas we encounter may challenge our assumptions and beliefs, and we embrace this as an opportunity for growth and learning.
Above all, we believe that reading and discussing books together can be a powerful tool for collective action and social change. We look forward to engaging with each other and with the texts we select, and to building a vibrant and inclusive community committed to the principles of left-wing politics.
Note: it's no accident that the "Bangkok Socialism Book Group" also exists. For whatever reason, the other meetup's events don't show up in searches. Meetup the company is aware of this problem, and has promised to fix it, but it's been over two months, and they haven't given us word as to any sort of timeline. Until this is solved, please forgive us if we start over.
