Ummm I'll be pretty busy this weekend, and won't be back on campus until Monday, but maybe we can do vc? I'm good for Friday or Saturday vc, and Monday evening

I work all weekend. Next week during the ek would be best for me. Although having a wedding at the end ofnthe week might make it bit more complicated for me to attend.

Eden would it be cool if we met this weekend and then i just give you the rundown at another time? obviously the more ideal approach would be all of us there but i think the intention is to try and start the SNS as soon as possible
10:14 PM
i could do tomorrow around 3 or after 10 if that works with y’all?

Hey all, just pitching an idea: As I'm a journalism/video production student, what if we were to record the Socialist Night School meetings and post them online. In doing so, we could attract more members from campus, but also expand our reach beyond MTSU.

I know I'm not in this committee, but that might be something the creative committee could work on. I could see that working for some select nights where y'all maybe prep yourselves for a recorded discussion, but it might not be good to post em all online. I think there will be a lot of nights where folks will wanna not have their class participation posted online.

That's true, I was thinking more recording of just lesson, and not the actual audience. Screen recording of the presentation plus the lecturer.

Im down. Let's def talk more about this tomorrow, cuz I also don't really have a full understanding of how these night schools would operate, and that'd be critical to figuring out how we approach recording/producing it

Sorry been busy dealing with wedding stuff. I think recording would be a great idea as well whether it's video or podcast, I think that would as other have said help spread our lessons to peeps outside of the campus. As for the lesson plans, I have a few places that I'm checking into atm for that specifically. I just got accepted into the ml institutes discord for classes on ml thought. So I'm hoping I can grab some from there. The iww ik has a lot of lessons centered around collectivizing that I could look into for some inspiration. The cpusa has a n online class they started hosting that I've been getting emails about. I'll send more information about then when I'm near my computer and have a bit of time but this week is a bit busy 🙃

Hey y'all for first sns, how about we do socialism 101 and explore what socialism has historically meant? Someone (sorry homie I just realized idk your name) expressed wanting to learn about what socialism actually is, so I think it would be a good starting point to supplement the principles of communism reading (edited)

Like do a lesson explaining what socialism basically is, and then talk about how there were a lot of different groups historically who called themselves socialist so it's often hard to pin down an exact definition (edited)

I was literally having conversation about this with one of my friends last night. They jokingly brought up nazis calling them selves socialist which made me cringe a bit. I think this would be a good idea as a separate lesson as well. Although I think having the principles first would be best and then possibly having the next lesson be on the different groups who have historically used that title. It would help the lessons flow a bit.

Frt. It's one of the reason why i think having just one lesson dedicated to reading into what movies and shows are trying to relay would be important. Like how many times have we seen some pos villain in some random movie coopt socialist talking points and then commit genocide. Like that's not a coincidence. One youtuber I really like is skip intro who does this wonderful video essay series on copaganda
Avatar
no i definitely was thinking the same thing in terms of delineating different schools of thought
10:57 AM
there were some more questions that came up during the creative committee meeting about us being involved in make short video content for our socials? For example if we did a lesson on the different schools of thought they were mentioning we could make a video where we basically explain the same topic (they would do all the production editing etc.) and then put those on a youtube channel for the org

that way we’re reaching more than just MT students

I love the idea and im pretty sure we also discussed doing this very thing in the meeting we had earlier for the night school. Personally I have no issues with it, but I know not everyone is ok with being labeled as a leftist for various reasons. I say a case by case basis. Or if nothgin else we can censor the faces or screen record the powerpoint and record the voices. (edited)

We only talked briefly, so idk if she would be okay with doing something larger/open to all students, but she said that she didn't see a problem with addressing a student org. She mentioned being interested in talking about women's part in labor history or something on those lines. I thought that could be pretty cool 🤔

So obviously we’re doing very broad overview so i feel like main points we’d need to cover are 1. Basic definition of socialism and somewhat cover essential terms and tenets 2. Considering it’s the intended alternative we’d undoubtedly need to define capitalism and it’s faults 3. A broad list of different schools of thought within socialism 4. In some way i think it’d be good to discuss how socialism is viewed in public opinion but obviously very broadly bc that could be its own entire lecture My problem is idk how i should order it, would it make more sense to define capitalism first or start with defining socialism and then transition into defining capitalism

sounds good to me. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/socialism/ we can use this, especially for capitalism's faults

and maybe also another main point could be brief history of socialism’s inception

ok. I think for the first meeting, we can focus on #1 and 2

I'm thinking about excerpting some parts of People's History by Zinn for a future SNS meeting. I'll be working on that, whether we use it sooner or later.

Okay! I'd rather do the interviews in person though, that way the audio is consistent, because knowing my Internet, you'd probably cut out mid-sentence.

cool and interesting fact. "Mao Tse Tung" is the romanization using the old Wade-Giles system. The Pinyin system "was developed in the 1950s to help improve literacy rates in the newly founded People's Republic of China. Pinyin is a system for romanizing (writing using the Roman/Latin alphabet) the sounds of the Chinese language."
2:52 AM
Mao Zedong is the pinyin one. pinyin is the modern system that's more commonly used, but i still often see the old romanizations of place names and stuff appear in secondary historical sources written like pre-1990s
