Communism, capitalism, work, crisis, and the market, described in
simple storybook terms and illustrated by drawings of adorable
little revolutionaries. Once upon a time, people yearned to be free
of the misery of capitalism. How could their dreams come true? This
little book proposes a different kind of communism, one that is
true to its ideals and free from authoritarianism. Offering relief
for many who have been numbed by Marxist exegesis and given
headaches by the earnest pompousness of socialist politics, it
presents political theory in the simple terms of a children's
story, accompanied by illustrations of lovable little
revolutionaries experiencing their political awakening. It all
unfolds like a story, with jealous princesses, fancy swords,
displaced peasants, mean bosses, and tired workers-not to mention a
Ouija board, a talking chair, and a big pot called "the state."
Before they know it, readers are learning about the economic
history of feudalism, class struggles in capitalism, different
ideas of communism, and more. Finally, competition between two
factories leads to a crisis that the workers attempt to solve in
six different ways (most of them borrowed from historic models of
communist or socialist change). Each attempt fails, since true
communism is not so easy after all. But it's also not that hard. At
last, the people take everything into their own hands and decide
for themselves how to continue. Happy ending? Only the future will
tell. With an epilogue that goes deeper into the theoretical issues
behind the story, this book is perfect for all ages and all who
desire a better world.
