Publisher's Synopsis
A vision of the first decade of socialism in the United States. The diverse multinational working class has achieved political supremacy and is actively eliminating bigotry, racism, and national oppression as it expands economic, social, and political democracy.
"This courageous and visionary book provides a realistic and realizable socialist alternative to our decaying predatory capitalist civilization! It grounds a grand socialist reconstruction of the present US regime in our present sufferings and struggles, especially in the crucial role of an awakening of working peoples! Genuine hope trumps despair in this prophetic text!"
-DR. CORNEL WEST
"Every project that is fed up with the failed capitalist system must develop a vision for socialism that builds the confidence of people that such a post-capitalist world is possible. Sharp clarity of thought based on experiments by people around the world defines this crucial book, a roadmap for our work."
-VIJAY PRASHAD
"This book is a great political and pedagogical tool for everyone who dares to imagine the end of capitalism and oppressive structures in the United States. It comes at a crucial time and should be utilized by organizers as a conversation starter within every community in the US to explore the concrete ways in which socialism can and must be constructed as a real social, economic and political project."
-CLAUDIA DE LA CRUZ
