Still the best primer on socialist thought.
|
In recent years, socialism has crept back into popular conversation. But what, exactly, is socialism? What was the historical record of past socialist movements? What would a socialist system look like today?
And how exactly can we organize for change?
Jacobin founder Bhaskar Sunkaras
The Socialist Manifesto
was written to answer some of these questions and its now out in an accessible 288-page paperback format.
Our current politics dont seem to offer much of a future at all. Our only choices appear to be either a technocratic neoliberalism that embraces the rhetoric of social inclusion but not equality, or a right-wing
populism channeling anger into the worst directions.
To be a socialist today is to believe that more, not less, democracy will help solve social ills and to believe that ordinary people can shape the systems that shape their lives.
The Socialist Manifesto
is a small tool in the struggle to bring about that better world.
