The ABCs of Socialism by Bhaskar Sunkara
4.0
The 2016 election and it's disgusting processes and results led many people to look around and say "there's got to be something better than this" and lo, Jacobin sprung from the shadows to present a handy little guidebook to a nice little ideology called Socialism.
You don't have to agree with everything in this book and it obviously won't answer every single question you have about how a socialist society would be implemented but it does a cracker jack job of giving the basics (or ABC's if you will) of what Socialism is, it's beliefs and why it is what it is.
At times it was a bit head in the clouds idealistic for me but it is a book about a dream for a better society, so you can't really fault it for that. Still, rise up my fellow workers and seize the means of learning about socialism from this handy little notebook.
Other random con; I hated the shape of the book. It was too easily warped by basic reading. Cute illustrations though.
