We need a new system. We need a new society.

We need to demand that which may have sounded impossible even a few weeks ago,

but is not only realizable, but an imperative necessity. Welcome to the Socialist Program.

I'm Nicole Roussel, one of the producers of this show.

Brian Becker, the host of the Socialist Program and a longtime socialist organizer, went

on a four-city speaking tour this month on the topic the new McCarthyism and the New Cold War.

We want to release for you today his talk at the first stop on the tour on September 14th in Denver, Colorado,

with a packed house at the Denver Liberation Center.

We urge you to subscribe and support this programming at patreon.com slash the socialist program.

Thank you so much for your help in keeping this independent show going.

We can make this show with you, but not without you.

I want to thank everyone, both those who have helped organize the meeting here today.

I want to thank you in particular, Dave, who we just did a radio show with, Justin, free speech TV, Emerald.

A lot of people here are working together.

So, you know, I'm in the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

The Liberation Center is, you know, a PSL-initiated project. But as Bruno said, we want to be able to work together.

There's no single organization that can do what needs to be done in order to build a broad progressive movement, not simply for

the anti-war movement, but for everything. If you're talking about workers' rights, talking about

abortion rights, the LGBTQ community, which is under attack. I mean, the many, many, many fronts that this struggle requires,

also requires us to find a way to talk to each other, work together, emphasize the things

that we agree about. And of course, we'll disagree about some things, but that's fine, too,

as long as we can have a discussion that is genuinely friendly and comradly, respectful.
