Phase 1- We'll all contribute, discuss literature from the period between ww1 and ww2 in which the socialist party of america was targetted by the Wilson Administration using his sedition act to jail it's leaders and finacial backers to lengthy prisons sentences and the following creation of American social sciences and introduction to higher education by John D Rockefeller Junior through the philanthropic institutions of Rockefeller Philanthropies, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, Social Science Research Center and the Problems and Planning committee (among others).
Phase 2- We'll dig up the texts to arrive at an understanding of american socialism at the time of it's eradication and we will restart the evolution of the philosophy from where it left off, publish our findings so that large scale participation can be acheived in the ideological advancement of socialism
Phase 3- The goal of the class will be to describe a viable tactic for separating socialism from it's association with the welfare/prison state created by the social sciences to replace socialism. We'll develop and implement strategies to gain popular support with the goal of creating a viable, popularly controlled entity that can challenge government power and force legislation that benefits the people.
