NY YCL hosts a weekly theoretical discussion group dedicated to analysis of classical and contemporary Marxist writing. We strive to give both a close and critical reading while linking ideas to our contemporary movements and practice. Texts are chosen by vote of those present at discussion.

In this class, YCL member Jose Santiago will cover how medical facilities operated during the Third Reich, in particular, how Nazis diagnosed and violated those with autism. Additionally, he will be covering similarities between Nazi-era and contemporary oppression of the Neurodivergent community.
