Basically somebody was talking about how socialism is when everybody gets paid the same and so nobody would want to work hard, I told them they were clueless and go read about what socialism is before shit talking it and they said ok what book should I read? I’m not sure I should recommend anything too complicated to somebody who knows nothing. I feel like Socialism Utopian and Scientific might be too old to connect. Any good primers y’all could recommend?
Chris Harman’s _How Marxism Works is a good one, it’s written in an easily accessible style and breaks down the basics of Marxism. It also has a lot of examples from throughout history in terms of what capitalism has produced, how marxists have responded to it, and communism in practice in China, the USSR, etc
This sounds good!
