Subject: a video on democratic socialism


                       NEW FOUNDATIONS:
      A VIDEO ON DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM IN THE UNITED STATES

New Foundations, a Syracuse Alternative Media Networks production,
presents visions for democratic socialism as an alternative to 20th
century capitalism and "communism."

The 30 min. video depicts the long history of democratic socialism
in the U.S. and establishes the connections between socialism and
movements for social justice and liberation, including labor,
feminist, civil rights, and environmental movements.

The video also presents new radical ideas about the future that
democratic socialism has for the United States.

The video is available for purchase or rent in VHS, and 3/4" video
tape for cable systems.  Interested parties can contact Syracuse
Alternative Media Networks, P.O. Box 550, Syracuse, New York  13210.
Phone (315) 425-7680

Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States,
describes the piece as a "lucid exposition of the ideas of
socialism.  New Foundations is a wonderful educational tool, very
much needed, because there has been so much misunderstanding of what
socialism is."

Barbara Garson, author of The Electronic Sweatshop, and of the play
Mac Bird, said, "I loved seeing a film [video] that locates
socialism both in America's past and in its future, and I loved the
music from different eras.....a lively film that shows socialism as
a way of living, not an ism."
