But the fact is, they don't have a clue about the real class struggles that took place in the late 1700s. The American Revolution was much more than flag waving and barbecues on the 4th of July. Nor was it a mere colonial rebellion. It was in fact a profound political and social revolution, carried out by the ordinary working masses, turned the world upside down. Come learn more about the real class roots of the American Revolution, which provides important lessons for workers and youth as we prepare for the next American Revolution: the socialist revolution. John Peterson of the Workers International League and editor of Socialist Appeal magazine will introduce the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. Bring your questions, ideas, and contributions! --------5 of 5-------- Nygaard/propaganda 10.20 7pm THIRD THURSDAY GLOBAL ISSUES FORUM Free and open to the public. Come and bring a friend. Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, 511 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis (at Lyndale and Hennepin). Park in church lot. Plenty of free paarking When: Thursday, October 20, 7:00-9:00 p.m. 21ST CENTURY PROPAGANDA: AN ACTIVIST’S GUIDE Beginning with an original definition of propaganda and contrasting it with the received definition, this presentation will introduce the concepts of “Overt” and “Deep” propaganda, “Propaganda ABCs,” and an “Investment Theory of Ideology in the Media.” Following a brief analysis of public relations theory, the group will practice finding propaganda in current media, discuss their findings and learn how to most effectively counter propaganda in the modern context. Presenter: JEFF NYGAARD. A self-described working-class intellectual, Jeff, who hails from a small town in southern Minnesota, has been a Minneapolis-based activist, writer, editor, and teacher for the past 35 years. He has published his own almost weekly Newsletter, Nygaard Notes: Independent Periodic News and Analysis, since 1998 [a remarkably thoughtful and original blog (Ed.)] and has appeared frequently on radio and television in the Twin Cities area and elsewhere. His activism was tied originally to issues of racism, but has since expanded to class privilege, union issues, gender bias, and other concerns. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- shove trove
