Danny Katch: Socialism... Seriously (EBook, 2023, Haymarket Books)

A sharp, funny, and engaging introduction to socialist ideas, movements, and solutions for a world …

seriously considering DNFing this. so far it's a day-in-the-life vision of socialist life that is anti-inspiring. lots of whining about liberals and Democrats. some painfully unfunny jokey asides (if his book inspires revolutions like the Communist Manifesto, then "how good would that be for getting invited onto podcasts?"). it appears the next three chapters are all about the evils of capitalism. GET TO THE POINT.

As much as I thought Malcolm Harris' book was mediocre, it was miles ahead of this so far.
