This is not a real thing.
You want the real leftist conference, check out www.leftforum.org. It is this weekend in NYC. Hundreds of talks, forums, and such at John Jay College. Sponsored by CUNY Graduate Program. Many notables have been there.

I was thinking OK now the big money is stepping in to co-opt the legacy of BPP, and probably whitewash their history in the process. BPP was a revolutionary, Marxist-Leninst, organization. Not something these banks and wall street landlords would be comfortable sponsoring. Unless they are just trying to buy this history so they can erase it. And to strip all the threatening parts out. Which is what it seems to be. Which relates to what you said.
