To speak of hope today is to speak of something absolutely necessary. But what kind of hope can sustain the struggle for a better world in the face of the ascendancy of Donald Trump, the Reactionary Right’s bold and deadly legislative policies, and the enduring violence of capitalism? What, and in whom, do we hope, and how does this hope help us to imagine a life beyond the death-dealing forces of capital as they continue to wreak havoc on workers, families, communities, and ecosystems?
In this inaugural Print issue of The Bias, we wanted to ask whether or not it was possible to hope in the Christian Socialist sense. Featuring writers such as theologian Joerg Reiger, political philosopher Matt McManus, and former SCM organizer Sheryl Johnson and others, our issue examines the contours of Christian hope from a socialist perspective. For this issue, we include essays, art, poetry, and creative writing.
