The Border and Imperialism : Mexico

Title: Imperialism: The U.S. and Mexico

Description: The relationship between the United States and Mexico, both today and historically, constitutes a significant feature of U.S. imperialism. Speakers at this panel event will discuss Lenin's and more recent socialists' concepts of imperialism; the long drive by U.S. capital and the U.S. government to dominate Mexico and seize economic benefits at the expense of Mexico and the working class of both countries; and Mexican/Chicano labor in the U.S. and in the Maquiladoras in Mexico, including the ways in which the U.S. imperialist relation to Mexico has divided the working class and the progressive responses to those divisions. This unequal relationship continues today, impacting workers on both sides of the border. We hope to develop a better understanding of the relationship between the two countries and deepen our bonds of solidarity. The panelists are Bill Gallegos, Luisa Martinez, and Vamsi Vakulabharanam. This panel event was organized by the Democratic Socialists of America's National Political Education Committee.
