In his latest book, veteran socialist writer Kim Moody provides a
masterful analysis of the political impasse which has shaped the
rise of a new socialist movement in the United States: recurring
economic and political crises, sharp inequality, state violence,
and climate catastrophe proceed apace as the right ascends across
the world, while the US political scene remains defined and
dominated by two capitalist political parties. Moody situates the
historic electoral campaigns of Democratic Socialists such as
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as the growth
of organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America, in this
context, and incisively assesses the revived movement's focus on
electoral strategies. Offering an important account of left
attempts to intervene in the American two-party electoral system,
Moody provides both a sobering historical corrective and an
alternative orientation for the future, arguing that the socialist
movement should turn its attention toward a politics of mass
action, anti-racism, and independent, working-class organizing.
