America is witnessing the rise of a new generation of socialist
activists. More young people support socialism now than at any time
since the labor movement of the 1920s. The Democratic Socialists of
America, a big-tent leftist organisation, has well over 50,000
members nationwide. In the fall of 2018, one of the most
influential congressmen in the Democratic Party lost a primary to
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old socialist who had never
held office before. Now, AOC is one of the most influential
politicians in the country. But what does all this mean? Should we
be worried about our nation, or should we join the march toward our
bright socialist future? In Why You Should Be a Socialist, Nathan
J. Robinson will give readers a primer on twenty-first-century
socialism: what it is, what it isn't, and why everyone should want
to be a part of this exciting new chapter of American politics.
From the heyday of Occupy Wall Street through the 2020 presidential
election and beyond, young progressives have been increasingly
drawn to socialist ideas. However, the movement's goals need to be
defined more sharply before it can effect real change on a national
scale. Robinson's charming, accessible, and well-argued book will
convince even the most skeptical readers of the merits of socialist
thought.
Here is a story about not fitting in because you are wearing
something ludicrous. The Man is booed and neglected because he
makes an unusual choice in dress. But watch as perhaps he finds a
way to both popularize himself and stay true to his values Jaunty
and colourful, "The Man Who Accidentally..." is an endearing
parable on the vitality of nonconformity and the enduring madness
of crowds.
