Join comrades as we learn the ABCs of Socialism! Since the unexpected success of the Bernie Sanders campaign and the rise of a new socialist movement in the United States, the word “socialism” has come to intrigue, inspire, and incense millions of Americans. Many have become socialists themselves. Others are sympathetic to Bernie’s platform but harbor questions about socialism, like “Doesn’t socialism go against human nature?” “Isn’t America already kind of socialist?” And, “Doesn’t socialism always end up in dictatorship?”
Â
