“Socialist Manifesto” Reading Group, 2/18🌹

With the stunning popularity of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Americans are embracing the class politics of socialism. But what, exactly, is socialism? And what would a socialist system in America look like?

Drawing on history and his own experience in left-wing activism, Sunkara explains socialists can win better wages, health care, education, and housing, create democratic institutions in workplaces and communities – while ultimately reviving our country. A primer on socialism for the twenty-first century, this is a book for anyone seeking an end to the vast inequities on our age.

The tenth and final session of our The Socialist Manifesto series will be Thursday, February 18th, at 7pm and will run till 9pm EST, using Zoom. Please be prepared to discuss Chapter 10: “How We Win” and some overall thoughts on the book.
