A social democrat friend who knows basically nothing about socialism and was a berniecrat is looking for book recommendations, what is a good book to recommend to him?
I sort of dived in the deep end when I first started (perhaps unproductively ) and I they're the type of person who would probably benefit a lot from nice prose and nothing SUPER heavy, but I also know a lot of intro books are full of BS that needs to be deprogrammed later(especially stuff that includes left-anticommunism) so I'm being cautious.
What would you recommend?
I have quite a few!
You should start with Dreams from My Father. It's a bit older, but it's a classic. From there, you go directly to The Audacity of Hope (ooh that title!). And the trio is completed by the latest of this author, published quite recently in fact, A Promised Land.
But, we are feminists. It's not enough to just read men. We also need to read women! In fact, forget the men. Forget the books I recommended above. I have another trilogy, a BETTER trilogy! Hard Choices, My Own Words and Becoming.
Also, we socialists have amazing music.
