The left is rampaging across our nation today. Portland, oregon is burning and many other cities face continuous looting, rioting and destruction. And while the antifa/black lives matter mob is wreaking havoc, destroying businesses and neighborhoods, leaders in those communities have taken an inexplicable hands-off attitude, even to the point of restraining a police response. Meanwhile, the democrat party, big tech, the media and institutional left have turbocharged censorship and vilification of their political enemies. How did we come to this, who caused it, what are their motivations and how do we stop it?In today’s political climate, more and more presidential candidates are espousing socialist—or democratic socialist—policies. Once associated with oppression, socialism is now a current topic of conversation with everyday americans, including policies like taxing the rich and healthcare for all. But what exactly is socialism and why does it spark such an intense debate?This book is perfect for students, lifelong learners, and anyone curious about how marxist theory applies to modern politics, economics, and social movements. It also addresses common criticisms and misunderstandings, offering a balanced look at what marx got right—and where debates continue.If you’ve ever wondered why marx still matters or how his ideas can help us rethink work, power, and justice in the modern world, this is the book for you.
