America's Forgotten Socialist History – Second Thought
SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://bit.ly/2nFsvTS
From our very earliest education Americans are told that the US has never been and will never be a socialist country. While it's true that the US has never been governed by a socialist party, it's impossible to look at US history and say we've never had strong socialist movements and notable socialist figures. Let's take a look!

US Socialist Convention Ridiculed After Righteous Outburst Over 'Gender Pronouns'
Delegates at the Democratic Socialists of America convention are being ridiculed online after footage of them interrupting their 'comrades' to complain of 'sensory overload' and the use of gendered pronouns went viral.
The 2019 DSA National Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, concluded on Sunday, but one moment from the conference is still being discussed widely on social media.
In the clip, an anxious delegate complains that the room is getting too loud for him to focus, before another slams his use of the collective pronoun 'guys' for addressing the room.

Ask Prof Wolff: Why a Socialist Party for the US
A patron of Economic Update asks: "Noting the success of the third party "Farmer-Labor Party" in securing power in the state of Minnesota, particularity in the 1930s, do you think it is useful and necessary to learn from that movement how to create a successful socialist party in the United States. Given the turbulent moment of that time in history and of our current situation, do you think that a similar force is needed to drag the country (or localities) to the socialism we desperately need?"

Venezuela socialist party takes control of once-defiant congress
President Nicolas Maduro has extended his grip on power as the governing socialist party took control of Venezuela's congress, the last national institution the opposition had held.
Maduro's party swept legislative polls last month which the opposition boycotted, saying they were a sham.
Some analysts say the loss of the National Assembly may jeopardise opposition leader Juan Guaido's political future.

Origin of Everything is a show about the undertold histories and cultural dialogues that make up our collective story. From the food we eat, to the trivia and fun facts we can’t seem to get out of our heads, to the social issues we can’t stop debating, everything around us has a history. Origin of Everything is here to explore it all. We like to think that no topic is too small or too challenging to get started.

"Socialism" is one of THE most divisive words in America and it has been for a long time. With Democratic Socialism gaining more and more popularity, Danielle takes a look back at the long history of Socialism in America. From the Utopian Socialist communities of the 19th century to the labor strikes and Anarchist Bombings of 1919 that helped fuel the Red Scare, we explore America's complicated history with Socialism.

Origin of Everything is a show about the undertold histories and cultural dialogues that make up our collective story. From the food we eat, to the trivia and fun facts we can’t seem to get out of our heads, to the social issues we can’t stop debating, everything around us has a history. Origin of Everything is here to explore it all. We like to think that no topic is too small or too challenging to get started.

President Nicolas Maduro has extended his grip on power as the governing socialist party took control of Venezuela's congress, the last national institution the opposition had held.
Maduro's party swept legislative polls last month which the opposition boycotted, saying they were a sham.
Some analysts say the loss of the National Assembly may jeopardise opposition leader Juan Guaido's political future.

A leading Socialist Party candidate in the Netherlands, Emile Roemer, could well emerge from the upcoming election as the first Dutch left wing-socialist prime minister.

This crisis has followed from the expulsion of mainly younger and critical members, as well as the party leadership's removal of funding for ROOD, the party's youth wing, on account of its criticism of the party's pro-capitalist politics.

Why we began designing for the Socialist Party
“For us it has always been important that our profession – graphic design – has an effect on society,” says Nikki Gonnissen, director and co-founder of visual communications firm Thonik. She was drawn to working in politics by the assassination of popular right-wing politician Pim Fortuyn by a left-wing activist in 2002.
“It’s crazy that in a democratic country someone should get killed like this,” says Gonnissen.
Before, much of Thonik’s work came from clients in the cultural sector, such as museums, whose ethos mirrored their own. “Artists and designers always think freely […] They have an open mind,” she says. “In the cultural field, everybody has the same way of thinking, the same mentality.” But the changing political environment in Holland triggered them to step outside of their co...

“For us it has always been important that our profession – graphic design – has an effect on society,” says Nikki Gonnissen, director and co-founder of visual communications firm Thonik. She was drawn to working in politics by the assassination of popular right-wing politician Pim Fortuyn by a left-wing activist in 2002.
“It’s crazy that in a democratic country someone should get killed like this,” says Gonnissen.
Before, much of Thonik’s work came from clients in the cultural sector, such as museums, whose ethos mirrored their own. “Artists and designers always think freely […] They have an open mind,” she says. “In the cultural field, everybody has the same way of thinking, the same mentality.” But the changing political environment in Holland triggered them to step outside of their comfort zone.
They decided to work with the Socialist Party in the Netherlands because they could see a role for design to help the party in its desire “to bridge the gap between people and politics”.
Thonik redesigned the party’s logo depicting the notorious thrown tomato of dissent to reflect a more positive aspect of the symbol: as a nourishing offering. The designers wanted the new identity to convey the party’s shifting image – it is no longer seen only as the political opposition. Instead, the branding campaign highlights the Socialists’ new goal to provide constructive alternatives as a contributing member of parliament.
The simplicity of the design resounded well with the public, complementing the humanitarian ideology of the party. The party has experienced a meteoric rise this year, with the red SP tomato and Helvetica type becoming more and more ubiquitous on signage and merchandise.
Gonnissen once again flips a common perception on its head for the Socialist Party’s challenge to new Dutch policy governing home-based care for the elderly. The studio made a deliberately controversial protest video to grab the media’s attention and rouse the nation into action.
In the video, an elderly lady undresses until she is naked. The video is a statement about the fact that cash-strapped seniors are now forced to rely on an ever-revolving team of strangers to help them with the most intimate of tasks, resulting in an impersonal and insensitive level of care.
The film brought their indignity into the public eye and created a media storm. The outrage brought a new level of interest, saturating media outlets with the issue and dragging other parties into the debate, ensuring that the voice of the Socialist Party’s spokesperson was finally heard.
Gonnissen’s intervention worked: “The law was turned back to the old situation after some years."
We interviewed Gonnissen at AGI Open 2014 in São Paulo, the annual conference of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) that brings together prominent graphic designers in the world. Founded in Switzerland in 1954, AGI's mission is to promote graphic design by means of talks, publications and educational activities.

Gonnissen once again flips a common perception on its head for the Socialist Party’s challenge to new Dutch policy governing home-based care for the elderly. The studio made a deliberately controversial protest video to grab the media’s attention and rouse the nation into action.
In the video, an elderly lady undresses until she is naked. The video is a statement about the fact that cash-strapped seniors are now forced to rely on an ever-revolving team of strangers to help them with the most intimate of tasks, resulting in an impersonal and insensitive level of care.
The film brought their indignity into the public eye and created a media storm. The outrage brought a new level of interest, saturating media outlets with the issue and dragging other parties into the debate, ensuring that the voice of the Socialist Party’s spokesperson was finally heard.
Gonnissen’s intervention worked: “The law was turned back to the old situation after some years."
We interviewed Gonnissen at AGI Open 2014 in São Paulo, the annual conference of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) that brings together prominent graphic designers in the world. Founded in Switzerland in 1954, AGI's mission is to promote graphic design by means of talks, publications and educational activities.
